Red-eye Reduction
Use this mode to reduce the red-eye
phenomenon when you want to take natural-
looking photographs of people and animals in

phenomenon can be reduced by asking the
subject (person) to look at the camera or get
as close to the camera as possible.
The flash always fires twice, and the
photograph is taken at the second firing.

mode for photographing under artificial light
such as backlighting, fluorescent lighting, etc.

indoor lighting, for stages and indoor
competitions, and when the subject is too far
away for the flash to be effective.

at dark or night-time background.

mode is fixed to Slow Synchronization. (the

Exp.], the flash mode is fixed to [
] Suppressed Flash.
