• To avoid blurring of images, hold the camera firmly until the shutter is released. It usually takes a second after you press the shutter button. Be also sure not to allow the subject to move during this period.
• Red Eye Reduction may not produce the desired effects. It depends on individual differences and conditions, such as distance to the subject, or if the subject looked away from the pre-strobe.
• If you do not use the Face Detection function, Red Eye Reduction does not work, even when you select [Auto].

What causes the red-eye phenomenon?

Pupils become dilated in dark environments. Flash light is reflected off the blood vessels at the back of the eye (retina), causing the "red-eye" phenomenon.

Other ways to reduce red-eye

• Select (High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection. (The flash is set to [Off] automatically.)

• When the eyes of the subject turn out red, correct the image with [Retouch] [Red Eye
