reduced by:

• Specifying a lower ISO sensitivity setting
• Flash is off.
• Flash window is blocked.
• Subject is beyond flash range.
• Adjust exposure compensation.
• Apply high-sensitivity shooting mode, or
raise the ISO sensitivity.

In-Camera Red-Eye Fix may, in very rare
cases, be applied to areas not affected by

reduction is the default setting for one-touch
portrait, B, and D modes.
