FUsing 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 reduction
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 <I> <P>.
2 Turn the <l> dial to set “E” on
the LCD panel.
• Press the shutter button halfway to
return to normal camera operation.
• To cancel red-eye reduction, set “W”
on the LCD panel.
1 Move the <7> arrow to the <F>
icon on the LCD panel.
• Look at the LCD panel and press the
<0> button to move the arrow.

• When you press the shutter button halfway, the
red-eye reduction lamp-on indicator will appear in
viewfinder and on the LCD panel.
• Red-eye reduction will not work unless the
subject looks at the red-eye reduction lamp. Tell
the subject to look at the lamp.
• For maximum effectiveness, press the shutter
button fully after the red-eye reduction lamp turns
off (after 1.5 sec.).
• You can take a picture even while the red-eye reduction lamp is lit.
• 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.
