Manual

Reduces the phenomena where human eyes become red from flashes.
• The flash is activated 2 times.
• The red-eye phenomenon tends to appear in certain recording conditions and more with
some people than with others.
• When faces are detected in the Intelligent Auto Mode, the Red-Eye Reduction is set to on.
This is for recording still pictures using the timer.
Each time the _ icon is selected, the indication changes by one setting in the following
order:
_)10 (Records after 10 seconds) _ _)2 (Records after 2 seconds) _ setting canceled
• When you press the O button, _)10 or _)2 flashes for the set period before a still picture
is recorded. After recording, the Self-timer is canceled.
• In Auto Focus Mode, if the O button is pressed halfway once and then fully, the lens
focuses on the subject when the button is pressed halfway. If the _ button is pressed
fully all at once, the lens focuses on the subject just before recording.
To stop the timer midway through
Press the MENU button.
• Setting the Self-timer to b_)2 is a good way to prevent image shake when the _ button is
pressed while using a tripod etc.
This brightens dark areas so the image can be recorded clearly.
• If there are extremely dark parts or the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear.
Backlight compensation
This makes the image brighter to prevent darkening of a backlit subject.
_ Soft skin mode
This makes skin colors appear softer for a more attractive appearance.
This is more effective if you record a person closely from the torso up.
• If the background or anything else in the scene has colors similar to the skin color, they will
also be smoothed.
• If the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear.
• If you record a person in the distance, the face may not be recorded clearly. In this case,
cancel Soft Skin Mode or zoom in on the face (close-up) to record.
