Setting Red-Eye Reduction
When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject’s eyes may
look red in the photograph. This happens when the light from the flash
reflects off the pupils of the eyes.
With red-eye reduction set, the red-eye reduction lamp lights
automatically when red-eye is prone to occur. The lamp aims to reduce
the diameter of the subject’s pupils to reduce the chances of red-eye
occurring.
• Red-eye reduction can be set in any picture-taking mode.
• The red-eye reduction iamp lights while the shutter button is pressed halfway. For maximum
red-eye reduction effect, press the shutter button completely after the red-eye reduction
lamp-on indicator turns off after about 2 seconds.
•
When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the red-eye reduction lamp-on indicator is
displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel to indicate that the red-eye reduction lamp
is on
