Shooting still images
To reduce “red-eye” when
shooting live subjects
The flash pre-strobes before shooting to
reduce the red-eye phenomenon. Set [Red
Eye Reduction] to [On] in the SET UP
settings (page 106). appears on the
LCD screen.
The amount of red-eye reduction possible
varies according to the individual. In addition,
the distance to the subject, and whether or not
the subject has seen pre-strobe light begin to
strobe may also reduce the effectiveness of the
red-eye reduction process.
Shooting with the AF
illuminator
This is additional lighting provided to assist
in focusing when shooting in dark places.
Set [AF Illuminator] to [Auto] in the SET
UP settings (page 106). If you try to shoot
under insufficient lighting conditions,
appears on the LCD screen; the AF
illuminator will emit a red light
automatically during the time between
when the shutter button is pressed halfway
down and the focus locks.
Even when the AF illuminator flashes, but
sufficient light does not reach the subject*, or
the subject has weak contrast, the camera may
not focus properly.

properly as long as it reaches the subject.

[Center AF], the AF range finder is not
displayed. or flashes and the centrally-
