Procedure
[p] (PLAY) * Snapshot Screen * [MENU] * PLAY Tab * Lighting
You can use this setting to optimize the balance between bright areas and dark areas 
in existing images.
NOTE
• Correcting the lighting when shooting produces better results (page 35).
• Altering the lighting of an image causes the original image and the new (altered) 
version to be stored as separate files.
• When you display an altered image on the camera’s monitor screen, the date and 
time indicates when the image was originally recorded, not when the image was 
altered.
Procedure
[p] (PLAY) * Snapshot Screen * [MENU] * PLAY Tab * Red Eye
Using the flash to shoot 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. Red eye correction corrects the eye colors of 
subjects to their normal colors when red eye occurs while using the flash.
NOTE
• The original snapshot is retained in memory and not deleted.
• Red eye correction may not be possible in the case of small faces or profiles.
• Red eye correction may not produce the desired effect under certain conditions.
Optimizing Image Brightness (Lighting)
