manual abstract
To reduce red-eye, a series of low-intensity pre-flashes fire before the main flash. In addition, if the camera detects red-eye when an image is taken, the affected area is processed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved. Note the following when shooting: • Due to the pre-flashes, there is a longer than usual interval between the time the shutter-release button is pressed and the time the shutter is released. • More time than usual is required to record 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. Shooting Features 45 Basic Shooting Settings Using the Self-timer The camera is equipped with a 10-second and 2-second timer for self-portraits. This feature is useful for reducing the effects of camera shake that occurs when pressing the shutter-release button. When using the self-timer, use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction to Off from the setup menu (A74) when using a tripod to stabilize the camera.
