CORRECTIVE ACTION
1
This "red-eye phenomenon"
occurs with all cameras when
a flash is used. It is caused by
light from the flash reflecting
off the retina at the back of
the eye. Red-eye varies
depending on the individual
and the shooting conditions
such as ambient lighting. Use
of the Red-Eye Reducing Pre-
Flash mode significantly
reduces this phenomenon.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1
Hold the camera correctly,
and press the shutter button.
2
Position the AF target mark
on the subject, or use the
focus lock.
3
Clean the lens with a soft dry
cloth.
4
Set the camera to the Macro
mode. The shooting distance
varies according to the zoom
setting.
5
Press the Shutter button while
looking into the viewfinder,
not while standing in front of
the camera. Or, use the
remote control.
