The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is saved in the camera’s memory even after the camera is turned off.

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

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