RED-EYE REDUCTION FLASH (Redeye)
When taking a picture with flash, sometimes the person’s eyes reflects
the flash light and the “redeye” phenomenon will appear in the picture.
In order to avoid this effect, the flash will blink several times, for about
one second before the picture is taken, in order to reduce the effect of
this phenomenon.
●
Depending on the lighting and subject conditions, the Redeye Reduction
flash may not completely eliminate the redeye in all cases.
SLOW SYNCHRO MODE
When using the flash with P/A mode, the shutter speed value is
limited to faster than 1/40. The slow synchro mode changes the shutter
speed up to 15 second depending on light condition. This mode is
suitable for a portrait in a nightscape.
