Advanced Red-Eye Reduction This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction ("In-Camera Red-Eye Fix"). The flash fires repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing red-eye. The camera then analyzes the picture; if red-eye is detected, the affected area will be processed to further reduce red-eye before the picture is saved. Note that because there is a slight lag between the shutter-release button being pressed and the picture being taken, this mode is not recommended when a quick shutter response is required. The time before the next picture can be taken also increases slightly. Advanced 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 advanced red-eye reduction processing; in these cases, choose another mode and try again. A When Lighting Is Poor When lighting is poor and the flash is off (U), shutter speeds may slow and pictures may be blurred. Blur can be reduced by placing the camera on a steady, level surface or by turning Vibration reduction (B 87) off and using a tripod. If an ISO icon is displayed, sensitivity has been raised to compensate for poor lighting and pictures may be affected by "noise" in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly colored dots (B 71). A Dust or Mist Light from the flash reflected from particles of dust or other matter in the air may appear in pictures as bright specks. If this occurs, turn the flash off and try again. C The AF-Assist Illuminator If lighting is poor, the AF-assist illuminator may light to assist the focus operation when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. The illuminator has a maximum range of about 1.8m/5ft. 11in. (W) to 1m/3ft. 3in. (T). The AFassist illuminator is not available in some modes (B 30-33) and can also be turned off manually (B 87), although in this case the camera may not focus when lighting is poor. C Optional Flash Units See page 93 for information on using optional flash units mounted on the camera accessory shoe. The flash modes available with optional flash units are the same as for the builtin flash. Basic Photography and Playback 25
