SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
Red-eye reduction
Using the flash to shoot at night or in a dimly lit room can cause
red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the image. This is
caused when the light from the flash reflects off of the retina of
the eye. When “ ” (Red Eye) is selected on the flash mode,
the REC light will fire, which causes the irises in the eyes of any
people in the image to close, which reduces the chance of red
eye.
IMPORTANT!
• Note the following important points when using red-eye
reduction.
– Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in
the image are looking directly at the camera during the
pre-flash. Before pressing the shutter button, call out to
the subjects so they all look at the camera while the pre-
flash operation is performed.
– Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects
are located far away from the camera.

Checking the Flash Mode
