BASIC IMAGE RECORDING I About Red-eye Reduction Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the image. This happens because the light from the flash reflects off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode, the camera performs two pre-flash operations, one designed to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the image to close, and one for the Auto Focus operation. This is followed by another flash operation for actual recording of the image. IMPORTANT! Note the following important points when using redeye reduction. • Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in the image are looking directly at the camera during the pre-flash. Before pressing the shutter button, call out to the subjects so they all look at the camera while the pre-flash operation is performed. • Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects are located far away from the camera. Flash Unit Status You can find out the current flash unit status by pressing the shutter button half way and checking the monitor screen and operation lamp. The indicator is also shown on the monitor screen when the flash unit is ready to fire.
