Reduces the red-eye phenomenon by providing low-flash light a few times before shooting
when using the flash.
• Red-eye reduction is available only with the built-in flash. (When using an external flash (not supplied),
the red-eye phenomenon rarely occurs.)
In the default setting, if exposure compensation is selected when the flash is used, shutter
speed, aperture, ISO sensitivity (only in AUTO mode), and amount of flash light all change in
order to perform exposure compensation (page 45). By fixing the amount of flash light, you
can limit the effect of exposure compensation to the background that is illuminated only by
ambient light (light other than the flash).
• With the flash compensation, you can limit the compensation to flash light range by fixing the exposure of
ambient light range that the flash light does not reach (page 75).
