Canon IXUS82IS manual 186, Eyes appear red, Continuous shooting slows down, Lens will not retract

186

Eyes appear red.

Light is reflected back from the eyes when the flash is used in dark areas.

zShoot with the [Red-Eye Lamp] in the [Flash Settings] set to [On] (p. 77). For this mode to be effective, the subject must be looking right at the red-eye reduction lamp. Try asking them to look directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject. The shutter will not activate for approximately 1 second after the red-eye reduction lamp fires in order to improve the effect.

zIf you set the [Red-Eye Corr.] in the [Flash Settings] to [On], the camera will automatically correct red eyes while shooting and record the image to the memory card.

zImages recorded with red-eye can be corrected by selecting [Red-Eye

Correction] in the menu (p. 136).
