Unexpected results when
flash set to V (auto with
red-eye reduction).
When taking images with V (auto with red-eye
reduction), or when taking images with Night
portrait (either in easy auto mode or in scene mode)
and the fill flash with slow sync and red-eye reduction
is used, In-Camera Red Eye Fix may be applied to
areas not affected by red-eye in rare cases. Use auto
mode or any scene mode other than Night portrait,
and change the flash mode to any setting other than
V (auto with red-eye reduction) and try taking an
image again.
