RED-EYE REDUCING NIGHT SCENE

FLASH MODE

Significantly reduces the "red-eye" phenomenon often seen when people are

photographed against a night background.

The camera will fire a series of low-power pre-flashes before the flash fires. This makes the subject's pupils

contract, significantly reducing the red-eye. Except

for the pre-flashes, this mode is the same as the Night Scene mode.

Read the precautionary remarks in "Red-eye Reducing Flash" (p. 36) and "Night Scene Flash" (p. 39). The Spot mode cannot be used while the Red- eye Reducing Night Scene Flash mode is being used.

Note: When the lens barrier is closed, the Red-eye Reducing Flash mode is restored.
