Using Red-eye Reduction
When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject's eyes may
look red in the image. "Red eye" happens when the light from the flash
reflects off the retina of the eyes.
The camera's red-eye reduction
feature turns on the red-eye reduction lamp to shine a gentle light into
the subject's eyes to narrow the pupil diameter
or iris. A smaller pupil
reduces the chances of red eye from occurring. Red-eye reduction can
be set in any shooting mode except
<A&> <~> <m>.
Select [Red-eye On/Off].
Select the < 01 > tab.
Press the
<.T > key to select [Red-
eye On/Off], then press <@>.
Set the red-eye reduction.
Press the <.T > key to select [On],
then press
<@>.
When you press the shutter button
halfway, the
<@> icon will be
displayed in the viewfinder.
When you press the shutter button down
halfway, the red-eye reduction lamp
indicator appears
in the viewfinder.
Red-eye reduction will not work unless the
subject looks at the red-eye reduction lamp.
Tell the subject to look at the lamp.
To increase the effectiveness of red-eye
reduction, press the shutter button down fully
after the red-eye reduction lamp (which lights for
approximately 1.5 seconds) indicator goes off.
You can shoot anytime by pressing the shutter button down fully, even
while the red-eye reduction lamp is still on.
The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies from subject to subject.
Red-eye reduction is more effective in brighter rooms or when the
camera is closer to the subject.
