The Red-Eye Effect
When flash is used in low-light situations, it may reflect off the subject's
pupils and make the eyes look red in the photograph.
Setting Red-Eye Reduction
The red-eye reduction feature helps reduce red eye with the camera’s
red-eye reduction lamp which gently shines into the subject’s eyes to
decrease the pupil diameter, thereby reducing the chances of red eye
from occurring. Red-eye reduction can be set in any picture-taking mode.
A Press the function button until the
* function pointer points to the red­
eye reduction symbol (<§>) on the
LCD panel.
O Turn the Main Dial as shown by
^ the arrow so that “1” appears on
the LCD panel.
• To disable red-eye reduction, turn the
Main Dial in the opposite direction to set it
to “0".
• The function pointer ► will disappear
and the red-eye reduction feature will be
disabled.
o The setting will take effect 6
^ seconds later or when the Main
Dial is turned.
