[] The Flash Mode Setting
• The setting varies with the shooting mode. See "Available Features" (_ SS) and "Default Settings"
(_ 69) for more information,
• Some settings cannot be used with other functions (_ 73),
• The flash mode setting applied in I_1 (auto) mode is saved in the camera's memory even after the
camera is turned off.
[] Red-eye Reduction
This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (In Camera Red Eye Fix), If the camera detects red
eye while saving an image, the affected area will be processed to reduce red eye before the image is
saved.
Note the followings when shooting.
• More time than usual is required to save images.
• Red eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.
• In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red eye may be affected by red eye reduction
processing; in these cases, select another flash mode and try again.
