best results, have subjects look at the red-eye reduction lamp. Also try increasing the

lighting in indoor scenes and shooting at closer range.

• Edit images using red-eye correction (=

Recording to the memory card takes too long, or continuous shooting

is slower.

• Use the camera to perform low-level formatting of the memory card (=

Shooting settings or FUNC. menu settings are not available.

• Available setting items vary by shooting mode. Refer to “Functions Available in Each

Shooting Mode”, “FUNC. Menu”, and “Shooting Menu” (=
