Red Eye Reduction: Setting the Red Eye Reduction function

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The flash strobes two or more times before

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

shooting to reduce the red-eye phenomenon when

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

using the flash.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Auto)

When the Face Detection function is activated, the flash

 

 

 

 

 

 

strobes automatically to reduce the red-eye phenomenon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(On)

The flash always strobes to reduce the red-eye phenomenon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Off)

Does not use Red Eye Reduction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

•To avoid blurring of images, hold the camera firmly until the shutter is released. It usually takes a second after you press the shutter button. Be also sure not to allow the subject to move during this period.

•Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired effects. It depends on individual differences and conditions, such as distance to the subject, or if the subject looked away from the pre-strobe. In such a case, you can correct the red-eye using [Retouch] in the viewing menu after shooting (page 66).

•When the Face Detection function is not used, the flash will not strobe to reduce red-eye phenomenon even when [Auto] is selected.

DRO: Optimizing the brightness and contrast

Analyzes the scene to be shot, and improves the image quality by automatic correction.

 

 

 

(Off)

Does not adjust.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(DRO standard)

The camera automatically adjusts the brightness and contrast

 

 

 

 

of the entire scene.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(DRO plus)

The camera automatically adjusts brightness and contrast of

 

 

 

 

the images area-by-area.

 

 

 

 

 

•DRO is an abbreviation for “Dynamic Range Optimizer”, a function that automatically optimizes the difference between light and dark parts of an image.

•Depending on shooting conditions, it may not be possible to obtain correction effects.

•Note the following points when [DRO plus] is set.

–Time is required for image processing.

–You can select only from [ISO AUTO], [ISO 80] to [ISO 400].

–When Burst/bracket shooting is selected, [DRO plus] is canceled and [DRO standard] is set.
