About the Digital Red-Eye Correction
When [Red-Eye Removal] (P85) has been set to [ON] and Red-Eye Reduction ([y],
[u], [i]) is selected, Digital Red-Eye Correction is performed whenever the
ash is used. The camera automatically detects red-eye and corrects the picture. (Only
available when [AF Mode] is set to [3] and Face Detection is active)
• Under certain circumstances, red-eye cannot be corrected.
• When it is set to [ON], [:] appears on the ash icon.
