This camera has a red-eye reduction function, which reduces red-eye by
discharging the flash twice. When > is displayed on the LCD panel, the
pre-flash is discharged just before the shutter is released. This reduces the
pupil diameter. Then the main flash is discharged while the pupils are
smaller, reducing the red-eye effect.

Red-eye Reduction
• If red-eye reduction is used when the AF360FGZ or AF500FTZ, etc. is set as
a slave unit or wireless, the preflash for red-eye reduction will trigger the
external flash to fire. Do not use red-eye reduction when using a slave unit.
• The red-eye reduction feature works even when only an external flash is
used. See page 97.
