Using Red-eye Reduction Flash "Red-eye" is the phenomenon where eyes look reddish in photographs taken in dark environments with a flash. This is caused by the reflection of the electronic flash from the retina of the eye. Red-eye occurs because pupils are dilated in dark environments. This phenomenon cannot be averted but the following measures can be used to combat it. ● Brighten the surroundings when shooting. ● If using a zoom lens, set it to wide-angle and move in closer to your subject. ● Use a flash that supports red-eye reduction. ● Avoiding the direct use of external flash may reduce the "red-eye" in pictures. The red-eye reduction function on this camera reduces red-eye by discharging the flash twice. With the red-eye reduction function, the pre-flash is discharged just before the shutter is released. This reduces pupil dilation. The main flash is then discharged while the pupils are smaller, reducing the red-eye effect. To use the red-eye reduction function, set [Auto+Red-eye( )] in Auto mode ( ) and [Fill-In+Red-eye( )] or [1st Curtain Sync.+Red-eye( )] in other modes. 100

Using the Built-in Flash
Using Red-eye Reduction Flash
“Red-eye” is the phenomenon where eyes look reddish in photographs taken
in dark environments with a
fl
ash. This is caused by the re
fl
ection of the
electronic
fl
ash from the retina of the eye. Red-eye occurs because
pupils
are dilated in dark environments. This phenomenon cannot be averted but the
following measures can be used to combat it.
●
Brighten the surroundings when shooting.
●
If using a zoom lens, set it to wide-angle and move in closer to your subject.
●
Use a
fl
ash that supports red-eye reduction.
●
Avoiding the direct use of external
fl
ash may reduce the “red-eye” in pictures.
The red-eye reduction function on this camera reduces red-eye by discharging
the
fl
ash twice. With the red-eye reduction function, the pre-
fl
ash is discharged
just before the shutter is released. This reduces pupil dilation. The main
fl
ash
is then discharged while the pupils are smaller, reducing the red-eye effect.
To use the red-eye reduction function, set [
Auto+Red-eye
(
)] in Auto mode
(
) and [
Fill-In+Red-eye
(
)] or [
1st Curtain Sync.+Red-eye
(
)] in other
modes.
Using Fill-in Flash

1.
Rotate the Mode dial (
) to any recording
mode except for the

2.
Press the
fl
ash (

begins charging. Regardless of the Flash
mode, the Fill-in
fl
ash will be selected. When
the
fl
ash is fully charged,
appears in the
LCD panel and view
fi
nder.
3.
Press the shutter release button halfway.
