The camera uses advanced red-eye reduction. Low-intensity light pulses cause the sub-
ject’s pupils to contract before the fl ash fi res. If the camera still detects red-eye, it will pro-
cess the image to further its eff ects (“In-Camera Red-eye Fix”; note that this may slightly
increase the time needed to record the picture). This mode is not recommended where
a quick shutter response is required; if the desired results are not achieved, try again at a
diff erent fl ash setting.
Red-eye Reduction
When Lighting Is Poor
ቢ The AF-assist illuminator may light
If lighting is poor, the AF-assist illuminator may light to as-
sist the focus operation when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway. The illuminator has a maximum range of
about 2.0 m/6 ft. 7 in. (W) to 2.0 m/6 ft. 7 in. (T). The AF-assist
illuminator is not available in some modes (
23) and can also be turned off manually (
70), although in this case the camera may not focus when lighting is poor.
ባ Pictures may be blurred
If the fl ash is off , shutter speeds may slow and pictures may
be blurred. Use vibration reduction (VR) to reduce blur (
20). If an ISO icon is displayed, sensitivity has been raised to
compensate for poor lighting and pictures may be aff ected
by “noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored
dots (
59).
