What causes the red-eye phenomenon?
Pupils become dilated in dark environments. Flash light is reflected off the blood vessels at the back of
the eye (retina) (A), causing the "red-eye" phenomenon.
Other ways to reduce red-eye
Select (High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection. (The flash is set to [Off] automatically.)
When the eyes of the subject turn out red, correct the image with [Retouch]
Correction] on the viewing menu or with the software "PlayMemories Home".
Notes
To avoid blurring of images, hold the camera firmly until the shutter is released. It usually takes a
second until the shutter is released, and also be sure not to allow the subject to move during this
period.
Red Eye Reduction may not produce the desired effects. It depends on individual differences and
conditions, such as distance to the subject, or if the subject looked away from the pre-strobe.
If you do not use the Face Detection function, Red Eye Reduction does not work, even when you
select [Auto].
[Red Eye Reduction] is set to [Off] in the following situations:
When (Night Scene),
(Advanced Sports Shooting) mode is selected in Scene Selection.
When Smile Shutter function is activated.
