Red Eye Reduction
The flash strobes two or more times before shooting to reduce the red-eye phenomenon when using the flash.
1. Set the camera to shooting mode.
2. MENU
(Settings)

What causes the red-eye phenomenon?
Pupils become dilated in dark environments. Flash light is reflected off the blood vessels at the back of the eye (retina) (A),
causing the “red-eye” phenomenon.
Other ways to reduce red-eye
●
Select
(High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection. (The flash is set to [Off] automatically.)
●
When the eyes of the subject turn out red, correct the image with [Retouch]
[Red Eye Correction] on the viewing
menu or with the software “PlayMemories Home.”
Notes
●
To avoid blurring of images, hold the camera firmly until the shutter is released. It usually takes a second until the
shutter is released, and also be sure not to allow the subject to move during this period.
●
Red Eye Reduction may not produce the desired effects. It depends on individual differences and conditions, such as
distance to the subject, or if the subject looked away from the pre-strobe.
●
If you do not use the Face Detection function, Red Eye Reduction does not work, even when you select [Auto].
●
[Red Eye Reduction] is set to [Off] in the following situations:
●
In [Background Defocus]
●
In 3D shooting mode
●
When
(Anti Motion Blur), (Night Scene),
(Hand-held Twilight),
(High Sensitivity), (Gourmet),
(Pet),
(Fireworks) or
(Advanced Sports Shooting) mode is selected in Scene Selection.
●
When Smile Shutter function is activated.
