Slow Synchro
The flash is used with slow
shutter speeds to shoot. This
reduces the chance that only
the background will appear
dark when a night scene or an
interior shot is taken with the
flash.
Using Slow Synchro
increases the chances
for camera shake. Use
of a tripod is
recommended.
Red-Eye Corr.
Automatically searches for and
corrects red eyes in the image
when the flash fires.
Red-Eye
Lamp
This feature reduces the effect
of light reflecting back from the
eyes and making them appear
red.
When set to [On], the
red-eye reduction lamp
lights orange before the
flash fires.
About Red-Eye Correction
When [Red-Eye Corr.] is set to [On], only the corrected
image is recorded to the memory card.
If the area around the eyes is red, for example from using
red eye shadow, that area may also be corrected. If this
happens, set [Red-Eye Corr.] to [Off].
Red eyes may not be automatically detected or may not be
fully corrected on some images. In either case, you can
correct images with [Red-Eye Correction] in the
menu
(p. 115).
