• Set [Red-Eye Lamp] to [On] (p. 75) to activate the red-eye reduction lamp (p. 4) in flash
shots. Note that while the red-eye reduction lamp is on (for about one second), it is not
possible to shoot, because the lamp is counteracting red-eye. For best results, have
subjects look at the red-eye reduction lamp. Also try increasing the lighting in indoor
scenes and shooting at closer range.
