Red Eye Reduction

The flash strobes two or more times before shooting to reduce the red-eye phenomenon when using the flash.

1. Set the camera to shooting mode.

2. MENU

(Settings)

(Shooting Settings)

[Red Eye Reduction]

desired mode

Auto When the Face Detection function is activated, the flash strobes

automatically to reduce the red-eye phenomenon.

On

The flash always strobes to reduce the red-eye phenomenon.

Off

Does not use Red Eye Reduction.

What causes the red-eye phenomenon?

Pupils become dilated in dark environments. Flash light is reflected off the blood vessels at the back of the eye (retina) (A),

causing the “red-eye” phenomenon.

Other ways to reduce red-eye

Select

(High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection. (The flash is set to [Off] automatically.)

When the eyes of the subject turn out red, correct the image with [Retouch]

[Red Eye Correction] on the viewing

menu or with the software “PlayMemories Home.”

Notes

To avoid blurring of images, hold the camera firmly until the shutter is released. It usually takes a second until the

shutter is released, and also be sure not to allow the subject to move during this period.

Red Eye Reduction may not produce the desired effects. It depends on individual differences and conditions, such as

distance to the subject, or if the subject looked away from the pre-strobe.

If you do not use the Face Detection function, Red Eye Reduction does not work, even when you select [Auto].

[Red Eye Reduction] is set to [Off] in the following situations:

In [Background Defocus]

In 3D shooting mode

When

(Anti Motion Blur), (Night Scene),

(Hand-held Twilight),

(High Sensitivity), (Gourmet),

(Pet),

(Fireworks) or

(Advanced Sports Shooting) mode is selected in Scene Selection.

When Smile Shutter function is activated.
