Available Shooting Modes p. 232

You can make detailed flash settings to fit the shooting conditions.

Flash Settings

Slow Synchro

The flash timing is adjusted to slow shutter speeds. This

 

reduces the chance that only the background will appear

 

dark when a night scene or an interior shot is taken.

 

Using Slow Synchro increases the chances for camera

 

shake. Use of a tripod is recommended.

Red-Eye Corr.

Automatically searches for and corrects red eyes in the

 

image when the flash fires.

Red-Eye Lamp

This feature reduces the effect of light reflecting back

 

from the eyes and making them appear red.

 

When set to [On], the red-eye reduction lamp lights

 

orange before the flash fires.

About Red-Eye Correction

zWhen [Red-Eye Corr.] is set to [On], only the corrected image is recorded to the memory card.

zIf the area around the eyes is red, for example from using red eye shadow, that area may also be corrected. If this happens, set [Red-Eye Corr.] to [Off].

zRed eyes may not be automatically detected or may not be fully corrected on some images. In either case, you can correct images with [Red-Eye Correction] in the Play menu (p. 142).
