Turn [On] the Red-Eye setting in
the Rec. menu (p. 28). 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.
You can correct red eyes in
images using the Red-Eye
Correction function (p. 69).
To enhance the continuous
shooting performance, you are
recommended to format the
memory card in the camera after
you save all its images to your
computer (p. 25).
Use a memory card formatted in
your camera (p. 25).
After closing the memory card slot/
battery cover, turn the power on
then back off (Basic Guide p. 5).
