•The setting applied in the following situations is saved in the camera’s memory even after the camera is turned off.

-When shooting mode A, B, C or D is used

-When V(auto with red-eye reduction) is selected in A(auto) mode

C Lowering the Flash

When not using the flash, gently push to lower the flash until it clicks shut.

C Auto with Red-eye Reduction/Red-eye Reduction

If the camera detects red-eye while saving an image, the affected area is processed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved.

Note the following when shooting:

•More time than usual is required to save images.

•Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations.

•In some cases, red-eye reduction may be applied to areas of an image unnecessarily. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the image again.
