Using Red-eye Reduction

When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject’s eyes may

come out red in the image. “Red eye” happens when the light from the

flash reflects off the retina of the eyes. The camera’s red-eye reduction

feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into

the subject’s eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. A smaller pupil

reduces the chances of red eye from occurring. Red-eye reduction can

be set in any shooting mode except < 5 4 > < ^ > < Q > .

Select [Red-eye on/off].

• Select the <0> tab.
• Press the

keys to select [Red

eye on/off], then press < ©>.

When you press the shutter button

down halfway, the red-eye reduction

lamp indicator appears in the

viewfinder.
Red-eye reduction will not work unless the subject

looks at the red-eye reduction lamp. Tell the subject

to watch the lamp.

To increase the effectiveness of red-eye reduction,

press the shutter button down fully after the red

eye reduction lamp (which lights for approximately

1.5 seconds) indicator goes off.

You can shoot anytime by pressing the shutter button down fully, even if

the red-eye reduction lamp is on.

The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies from subject to subject.

Red-eye reduction is more effective in bright interior locations, with the
camera closer to the subject.
