RED-EYE REDUCTION FLASH (Redeye)

When taking a picture with flash, sometimes the person’s eyes reflects the flash light and the “redeye” phenomenon will appear in the picture. In order to avoid this effect, the flash will blink several times, for about one second before the picture is taken, in order to reduce the effect of this phenomenon.

●Depending on the lighting and subject conditions, the Redeye Reduction flash may not completely eliminate the redeye in all cases.

SLOW SYNCHRO MODE

When using the flash with P/A mode, the shutter speed value is limited to faster than 1/40. The slow synchro mode changes the shutter speed up to 15 second depending on light condition. This mode is suitable for a portrait in a nightscape.
