Shooting – The Basics

z Red-eye Reduction

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 shooting with the lens set to a wide angle, increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject.

z The red-eye reduction function cannot be set when the Special Scene mode (p. 51) is set to (Fireworks).
