Slow Synchro The flash timing is adjusted to slow 

shutter speeds. This reduces the 

chance that only the background 

will appear dark when a night scene 

or an interior shot is taken.

Using Slow Synchro 

increases the 

chances for camera 

shake. Use of a tripod 

is recommended.

Red-Eye 

Corr.

Automatically searches for and 

corrects red eyes in the image 

when the flash fires.

–

Red-Eye 

Lamp

This feature reduces the effect of 

light reflecting back from the eyes 

and making them appear red.

The red-eye 

reduction lamp lights 

green before the flash 

fires.

Safety FE

The camera automatically changes 

the shutter speed or aperture value 

when the flash fires to avoid 

overexposing and blowing out the 

highlights in the scene.

In  

or   

shooting mode, set 

[Flash Mode] to 

[Auto] in advance.

z

When [Red-Eye Corr.] is set to [On], only the corrected 
image is recorded to the memory card.

z

If the area around the eyes is red, for example from using 
red eye shadow, that area may also be corrected. If this 
happens, set [Red-Eye Corr.] to [Off].

z

Red eyes may not be automatically detected or may not be 
fully corrected on some images. In either case, you can 
correct images with [Red-Eye Correction] in the Play menu 
(p. 178).
