Be Applied Simultaneously" (_ 78) for more information,
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). Pre flashes are fired
repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the red eye effect, Additionally, 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.
• Because pre flashes are fired, there is a slight lag between when the shutter release button is
pressed and when the shutter is released,
• 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, choose another flash mode and try again,
