Eyes appear red.

Light is reflected back 
from the eyes when the 
flash is used in dark 
areas.

Shoot with [Red-Eye Lamp] in the 
[Flash Control] menu set to [On] 
(p. 110). For this mode to be effective, 
the subject must be looking right at 
the red-eye reduction lamp. Try 
asking them to look directly at the 
lamp. Even better results can be 
obtained by increasing the lighting in 
indoor settings or approaching closer 
to the subject.

Set the [Red Eye Corr.] in the [Flash 
Control] menu to [On] (p. 110) and 
then shoot. The camera will 
automatically correct red eyes while 
shooting and record the image to the 
card.

images using the [Red-Eye 
Correction] in the Playback menu 
(p. 178).
