About Red-eye Reduction
About Red-eye Redu ction
About Red-eye Redu ctionAbout Red-eye Reduction
Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the eyes of
people who are in the image. This is caused when the light from the flash reflects off of the
retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode, the camera performs
two pre-flash operations, one designed to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the image
to close, and one for the Auto Focus operation. This is followed by another flash operation for
actual recording of the image.

About the HistogramAbout the Histogram
The histogram is a graph that allows you to judge the brightness of the recorded image. The
greater the bias toward the left in the graph, the darker the image. The greater the bias toward
to the right, the brighter the image. If the image is dark, adjust the exposure compensation to a
positive number. Similarly, adjust the exposure compensation to a negative number if the
image is bright.

Multi (Multi-pattern):Multi (Multi-pattern):
Multi-pattern metering divides the image into sections and measures the
light in each section for a balanced exposure reading. The camera
automatically determines shooting conditions according to the measured
lighting pattern, and makes exposure settings accordingly. This type of
metering provides error-free exposure settings for a wide range of shooting
conditions.
Center weighted (Center-weighted):

You can expand the storage capabilities of your camera by using a
commercially available memory card (SD memory card or
MultiMediaCard). You can also copy files from built-in flash
memory to a memory card and from a memory card to flash memory.
• Normally, files are stored in built-in flash memory. When you insert a memory card, however, the camera automatically stores files to the card.
• Note that you cannot save files to built-in memory while a memory card is installed in the
camera.
• Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMediaCard with this camera. Proper operation is
not guaranteed when any other type of card is used.
• Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds.
• SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which you can use to protect against accidental deletion of image data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD memory card, you
must remove write protection whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete any of
its files.
