• Set [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] ( = 42) to activate the red-eye reduction lamp
( = 3) in flash shots. Note that while the red-eye reduction lamp is on (for about
one second), it is not possible to shoot, because the lamp is counteracting red-eye.
For best results, have subjects look at the red-eye reduction lamp. Also try increasing
the lighting in indoor scenes and shooting at closer range.
• Edit images using red-eye correction ( = 81).
Recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous shooting is slower.

Shooting Mode”, “FUNC. Menu”, and “Shooting Menu” ( = 134 – 137).
Shooting Movies
The elapsed time shown is incorrect, or recording is interrupted.
• Use the camera to format the memory card, or switch to a card that supports high-
speed recording. Note that even if the elapsed time display is incorrect, the length of
movies on the memory card corresponds to the actual recording time ( = 109, 142).
[ ] is displayed and shooting stops automatically.
The camera’s internal memory buffer filled up as the camera could not record to the
memory card quickly enough. Try one of the following measures.

• Switch to a memory card that supports high-speed recording ( = 142).

• Switch to a memory card that you have performed low-level formatting on with the
camera ( = 110).
• There may be brief interruptions when playing movies copied to memory cards that
have slow read speeds.
• When movies are played on a computer, frames may be dropped and audio may skip
if computer performance is inadequate.
Sound is not played during movies.
• Adjust the volume ( = 67) if you have activated [Mute] ( = 107) or the sound in
the movie is faint.
