FUsing Red-eye Reduction (with the built-in flash)

When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject’s eyes may come out red in the photograph. “Red eye” happens when the light from the flash reflects off the retina of the eyes. The camera’s red-eye reduction feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into the subject’s eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or iris. A smaller pupil reduces the chances of red eye from occurring. Red-eye reduction can be set in any shooting mode except <I> <P>.

2Turn the <l> dial to set “E” on the LCD panel.

• Press the shutter button halfway to return to normal camera operation.

• To cancel red-eye reduction, set “W” on the LCD panel.

• When you press the shutter button halfway, the red-eye reduction lamp-on indicator will appear in viewfinder and on the LCD panel.

• Red-eye reduction will not work unless the subject looks at the red-eye reduction lamp. Tell the subject to look at the lamp.

•For maximum effectiveness, press the shutter button fully after the red-eye reduction lamp turns off (after 1.5 sec.).
