Setting the Red-eye Reduction FunctionThe red-eye reduction lamp fires when the flash is used in dark areas. This prevents light from reflecting back from the eyes and making them appear red.

• When shooting with the red-eye reduction function, the subjects must look right at the red-eye reduction lamp for this mode to be effective. Try asking them to look directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by shooting with the lens set to a wide angle, increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject.
Setting the Slow SynchroYou can shoot images using the flash with a slow shutter speed. This helps avoid dark backgrounds when shooting night scenes or with indoors lighting conditions.

(Rec.)] menu, set [Slow Synchro] to [On].
