•
If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 92)
•

•
Turn on the ash. (p. 61)
•
Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 63)

appear too dark.
•
Avoid shooting toward the sun.
•
Select Backlight in Scene mode. (p. 47)
•
Set the ash option to Fill in. (p. 61)
•
Adjust the exposure. (p. 69)
