Shooting with flash in dark places, the subject’s eyes may appear red in the picture. This phenomenon 

is known as “Red-Eye” and occurs when flash reflects back from the retina.

When shooting with the red-eye reduction function, the subjects must look right at the flash for 

this mode to be effective. Try asking them to look directly at the flash. Even better results can be 

obtained by shooting with the lens set to a wide angle, by increasing the lighting indoor settings, or by 

approaching closer to the subject.

The camera enables you to select the metering mode to suit the shooting conditions and purpose.

The image is divided into multiple regions and metering is performed for each region. The camera 

judges the subject position and background brightness, and determines a well-balanced exposure.

The camera meters the light within the AF frame.
