Adjusts the amount of flash light.
• To change flash mode, see page 25.
• If the subject is too bright or dark, this adjustment may have no effect.
The flash strobes two or more times before
shooting to reduce the red-eye phenomenon when
using the flash.
• 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. When the
eyes of the subject turn out red, correct the image with [Retouch] on the viewing menu (page 58) or with
the supplied software “PMB”.
• When the Face Detection function is not used, the flash does not strobe to reduce the red-eye phenomenon
even when [Auto] is selected.
