To reduce “red-eye” when 
shooting live subjects
The flash pre-strobes before shooting to 
reduce the red-eye phenomenon. Set [Red 
Eye Reduction] to [On] in the SET UP 
settings (page 116). 
 appears on the 
LCD screen.
The amount of red-eye reduction possible 
varies according to the individual. In addition, 
the distance to the subject, and whether or not 
the subject has seen pre-strobe light begin to 
strobe may also reduce the effectiveness of the 
red-eye reduction process.
When [Red Eye Reduction] is set to [On], the 
flash fires twice or more.
Shooting images with the AF 
illuminator
The AF illuminator is fill light to focus 
more easily on a subject in dark 
surroundings. The 
 appears on the LCD 
screen and the AF illuminator emits red 
light when the shutter button is pressed 
halfway until the focus is locked.
When this function is not needed, set [AF 
Illuminator] to [Off] in the SET UP settings 
(page 116).
If AF illuminator light does not reach the 
subject sufficiently or the subject has no 
contrast, focus will not be achieved. (A distance 
up to approximately 3.5 m (11 feet 5

/

inches) 
(W)/2.5 m (8 feet 2

/

inches) (T) is 
recommended.)
Focus is achieved as long as AF illuminator 
light reaches the subject, even if the light is 
slightly off the center of the subject.
When the focus preset distance is set (page 51)
the AF illuminator does not function.
The AF range finder frame does not appear. 
The 
 or 
 indicator flashes, and AF 
operates with priority on subjects located near 
the center.
The AF illuminator does not operate when the 
mode dial is set to 
 or 
.
The AF illuminator emits very bright light. 
Although there are no problems with safety, 
directly looking into the AF illuminator emitter 
at close range is not recommended.
