BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

■ About Red-eye Reduction

Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can

cause red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the

image. This is caused when the light from the flash reflects

off of the retina of the eye. Red-eye reduction fires a pre-

flash, which causes the irises in the eyes of any people in the

image to close. This is followed by another flash operation

when the image is actually recorded.

IMPORTANT!

Note the following important points when using red-eye

reduction.

• Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in

the image are looking directly at the camera (flash).

Before pressing the shutter release button, call out to

the subjects so they all look at the camera.

• Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the sub-

jects are located far away from the camera.

Flash Precautions

• Take care that your fingers do not block the flash when you

hold the camera. Covering the flash with your finger can

greatly reduce its effectiveness.

• The approximate effective range of the flash is shown be-

low. The flash is unable to adequately illuminate a subject

that is outside this range.

1 meter to 2 meters

• The flash takes anywhere from a few seconds as long as

10 seconds to attain full charge after being fired. The actual

time required depends on the battery level, temperature,

and other conditions.

• The flash does not fire during movie recording. This is indi-

cated by on the monitor screen.

• The flash unit may not be able to charge when battery

power is low. Low battery power is indicated by the on

the monitor screen, and when the flash fails to fire properly

resulting in poor image exposure. When these symptoms

occur, charge the camera’s battery as soon as possible.

Flash

NOTE

• You can use the key customization feature (page 51)

to configure the camera so the flash mode changes

whenever you rock the controller left or right while in

the REC mode.
