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:
– In Anti Motion Blur mode
– In Hand-held Twilight mode
– When Scene Selection is set to
– When the Smile Shutter function is activated
