Auto with Red-eye Reduction/Red-eye Reduction
The red-eye reduction lamp glows before the main flash to reduce the red-eye effect. In
addition, if the camera detects red-eye while saving an image, the affected area is processed
to reduce red-eye before the image is saved.
Note the following when shooting:
•
Because the red-eye reduction lamp glows, more time than usual is required until the
shutter is released after you press the shutter-release button.
•
More time than usual is required to save images.
•
Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.
•
In rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied to areas of an image unnecessarily. In
these cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again.
