Red eye reduction How is the camera in terms of reducing red eye?
940569
The LZ7 DOES have a pre-flash that causes the subject's pupils to get smaller, reducing red-eye, and it works in most situations. You need to select red-eye reduction in the setup menu (or just use Simple Mode), but it's super easy. Some fancier cameras also have software-based red-eye correction, as do almost all photo editing programs -- even the simple ones.I bought the LZ7 a few months ago for $100, and it's a terrific camera for the price, just like the LZ8. Wall Street Photo on Amazon is now asking $300 for the black LZ7, which is an unconscionable ripoff. Leave it to Panasonic to make terrific cameras at reasonable prices, and New York's sleazeball middlemen to gouge unwary customers.

Did you buy the LZ7? Does it really eliminate red eyes for blue-eyed people in photos?

I've been reading and reading trying to find out about this and I haven't found the words "red eye reduction" anywhere except on your post. So, it really does have a red eye reduction feature? I and many in my family have blue eyes and without that feature we look a little wild in photos. That makes it a deciding factor in my purchase. Thanks.

good! there are two flashes, and a slight pause in between them. sometimes people are confused when i take photos of them using the red eye, because they think the photo was taken after the first flash, and so they moved when the photo was actually taken. it shouldn't be too big of a problem for you though.

Thank you. This is very helpful and definitely makes the camera pretty full-featured for the price considering image stabilization is included.

I have my camera's IS on and the lenses off. I figure that it would do a better job. I have not tried it the other way. It would be an interesting test. I will let you know how it works out.

Yes. The "IR" light is a red LED that can be seen naked eye. If your up against someone with genII or better it's like a bright target on your face. You can disable the light but the quality drops so low you'd be better off eating an ass-ton of carrots instead in hopes of developing super powered eyes.

put your camera in single shot mode,then half press for focus and then fully depress to take the shot,note the shutter boss will only take up to 2 fps when set on continuous shooting,both led's should turn red when releasing the shutter.

Yes, there is a feature called "OIS" which reduces camera shake. Also, when focusing the focusing rectangle changes from a red outline, i.e., Out of Focus to a green outline - in focus.

I wonder how this Eye Start focussing would work if you use a cordless remote or similar?When you use cordless remote for taking a picture, does the shutter stop halfway for focussing, like in normal mode?Thanks.

You can't adjust the shutter speed, but there is an option to "lower it to reduce red-eye effect."

Red is the connection of the power supply. You can connect directly to the energy with which comes with the camera or use the battery adapter.

It is built into the Camera..very bright, but best part is it is adjustable to surrounding light, and it blocks "red eye" automatically..

Matthew..... yes, the eye relief is excellent. My only regret is the zoom is not great enough.

The 570 takes very good photos. Here are some tips for your flash times: Use rechargable NiMH batteries for faster recycling and longer battery life. Also come in closer to your subjects using less telephoto, it will take less flash power and take less recycling time, it may have the added benefit of less red-eye. Finally, don't use red-eye reduction mode unless you feel you need to, outdoor photos with flash generally don't need the reduction.

Difference is the one with the red ring is the de-clicked cine version. It also features a grooved focus ring that allows for a follow focus to be attached to the lens.

No, it actually decrease it to something around 1.4 (on the blackmagic cinema camera it reduces from 2.36 to 1.53). Also you gain a full stop of light! i.e. A f/1.4 Nikon Full frame 50mm lens behaves like if it were a 35mm f/1.0 lens!!!

This lens has a vibration reduction system (VR), and also has a switch to turn off the system. It predominantly stabilizes the image against shutter vibration.

Since this lens is a little more basic than the other lenses, you have to lock the aperture ring in where the red dot is on the lens.. Once it's locked it you can control the aperture through the camera like normal.

This is a great flash. I use it all the time. With regards to your question it flashes three times when red eye is on however it does not when delayed or advanced flash is used.

Its not REALLY good, but it may help reduce a little redness. Laser would be best.
