from the eyes when the

time.

Shoot with [Red-Eye Lamp] in the
[Flash Settings] menu set to [On]
(p. 80). 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. The shutter will not
activate for approximately 1 second
after the red-eye reduction lamp fires
in order to improve the effect.
If you set the [Red Eye Corr.] in the
[Flash Settings] to [On], the camera
will automatically correct red eyes
while shooting and record the image
to the card (p. 80).
You can correct red eyes in recorded
images using the [Red-Eye
Correction] in the Playback menu
(p. 142).
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. 178).
Use a memory card formatted in your
camera (p. 178).
