Set the

(red-eye reduction)

function to [On] and shoot (Basic
Guide
p. 14). For this mode to be
effective, the subject must be
looking right at the red-eye
reduction lamp. Try asking them to
look directly at the lamp.

Even better results can be
obtained by increasing the lighting
in indoor settings or approaching
closer to the subject. The shutter
will not activate for approximately
1 second after the red-eye
reduction lamp fires in order to
improve the effect.

Continuous shooting slows down.

after you save all its images to
your computer
