The Flash Mode Setting
• The setting varies with the shooting mode. See “Available Features” (
A
55) and “Default Settings”
(
A
61) for more information.
• Some settings cannot be used with other functions (
A
65).
• The flash mode setting applied in
A
(auto) mode is saved in the camera’s memory even after the
camera is turned off.
C
Red-eye Reduction
This camera uses Advanced Red-Eye Reduction (In-Camera Red-Eye Fix).
If the camera detects red eye while saving an image, the affected area will be processed to reduce
red-eye before the image is saved.
Note the following when shooting:
• More time than usual is required to save images.
• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations.
• In some cases, red-eye correction may be applied to areas of an image unnecessarily. In these
cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again.
