The noise reduction function may be activated with some shooting conditions such as dim
lighting. More time than usual is required to save images to which noise reduction is applied.
B
Note on the Flash
When using the flash, reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as bright spots in images.
To reduce these reflections, set the flash to
W
(off).
C
The Flash Lamp
The flash lamp indicates flash status when the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway.
•
On: Flash will fire when picture is taken.
•
Blinks: Flash charging. Wait a few seconds and try again.
•

If the battery is low, the monitor display will turn off, and
remain off, until the flash is fully charged.

•
A
(auto):
U
(auto)
•
Scene: varies with the selected scene mode (
A
54–61)
•
F
(smart portrait):
U
(auto) when

camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time
A
(auto) mode is selected.
C
Red-eye Reduction
This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (In-Camera Red-Eye Fix). Pre-flashes are fired
repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the red-eye effect. Additionally, if the
camera detects red eye while saving an image, the affected area will be processed to reduce red-eye
before the image is saved.
Note the followings when shooting.
•
Because pre-flashes are fired, there is a slight lag between when the shutter-release button is
pressed and when the shutter is released.
•
More time than usual is required to save images.
•
Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations.
•
In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by red-eye reduction
processing; in these cases, choose another flash mode and try again.
