Red-eye Reduction
This
carr1era
uses advanced red-eye
reduction
("In-Camera Red-Eye
Fix")
The flash fires repeatedly at
low
intensity before
the
main flash, reducing red-eye. The camera then analyzes
the
picture;
if
red-
eye
is
detected,
the
affected (lrea
will
be
procE'')<.,ed
to
Furth r
rcuu(c
red-eye before the picture
is
saved.
Note
that
because there
is
a slight lag
between
the shutter-release
button
being pressed and
the
picture
being
shot, this
mode
is
not
recommended
when
a qUick shutter response
is
reqUired.
The
time
before
the
next picture can
bc
shot
al~o
i ere
se~
slightly. Advanced red-eye reduction
may
not
produce
the
desired results in all situations.
In
extremely rare instances, areas
not
subject
to
red-eye
may
be affected by advanced red-eye
reduction
processing;
in
these
cases,
choose
another
mode
and try again.
