Shoot with [Red-Eye Lamp] in the
[Flash Control] menu set to [On]
(p. 110). For this mode to be effective,
the subject must be looking right at
the red-eye reduction lamp. Try
asking them to look directly at the
lamp. Even better results can be
obtained by increasing the lighting in
indoor settings or approaching closer
to the subject.
Set the [Red Eye Corr.] in the [Flash
Control] menu to [On] (p. 110) and
then shoot. The camera will
automatically correct red eyes while
shooting and record the image to the
card.
You can correct red eyes in recorded
images using the [Red-Eye
Correction] in the Playback menu
(p. 178).
To enhance the continuous shooting
performance, you are recommended
to low level format the memory card in
the camera after you save all its
images to your computer (p. 215).
Use a memory card formatted in your
camera (pp. 16, 215).
After closing the memory card slot
cover or battery cover, turn the power
on then back off.
