bright.

Areas not affected
by red-eye are also
corrected.
When V (auto with red-eye reduction) or “fill flash with red-eye
reduction” of the S (Night portrait) scene mode is applied
during shooting, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix may, in very rare cases,
be applied to areas not affected by red-eye. Set the flash mode to
other than V (auto with red-eye reduction), select a scene
mode other than S (Night portrait), and resume shooting.
