<§> Using Red-eye Reduction
(with the built-in flash)
When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject's eyes may
come out red in the photograph. “Red eye" happens when the light from
the flash reflects off the retina of the eyes. The camera's red-eye reduc­
tion feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light
into the subject's eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. A smaller pupil
reduces the chances of red eye from occurring. Red-eye reduction can
be set in any shooting mode except <^>,
> and
*1 Move the < ^ > arrow to the < ^ >

the LCD panel.
• Press the shutter button halfway to
return to normal camera operation.
• When red-eye reduction is enabled,
the red-eye reduction lamp-on
indicator will be displayed in the
viewfinder and on the LCD panel
when you press the shutter button
halfway.
• To cancel red-eye reduction, set

reduction lamp. Tell the subject to look at the lamp.

lamp turns off (after 1.5 sec.).

The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending on the subject.
■ To further increase the effectiveness of red-eye reduction, go to a brighter
environment or move closer to the subject.
