Auto with Red-eye Reduction

The E5600/E4600 Auto with red-eye reduction flash function uses an advanced red-eye reduc- tion method. Several pre-flashes are fired before the main flash to reduce "red-eye." In addi- tion, if red-eye is detected, the camera will automatically correct it when storing the picture ("In-Camera Red-Eye Fix"). When using this function, there is a slight delay before you can press the shutter-release button again for the next shot. Depending on the situation, red-eye reduction may not always produce the desired results. In some rare cases, other picture areas may be affected. Choose another flash mode and try again.
