[Red-eye
reduction]
Use for portraits. The ash unit performs a
red-eye reduction ash before the ash
res, reducing “red-eye”.
･ A ash unit with red-eye reduction is
required. If you use a ash unit that
does not support red-eye reduction, the
J
icon in the shooting display will
ash.
･ The desired results may not be achieved
if the subject or camera moves before
the shutter is released (this setting is
not recommended with moving
subjects or in other situations requiring
a quick shutter response).
