Red Eye Reduction Mode - Sony UPX-DP10 Mode D'emploi

Shooting Examples
• The color temperature of the built-in strobe is 7000K.
Generally, off-the-shelf strobes have a color
temperature between 5000K and 6500K. Using a
diffuser lowers the effective color temperature further
by hundreds of degrees. Some strobes are vulnerable
to the color temperature drop of the luminous body
over a long term.
A big color temperature difference between the built-
in and external strobes may cause some portions of
the subject to appear yellowish on the picture. This
phenomenon is likely to occur when the external
strobe is set at a distance from the camera. Because
the lights from the two sources irradiate the subject
from different angles, they are blended in different
proportions on different portions of the subject. In
such a case, it is recommended that you use an
external strobe of a relatively high color temperature.
No built-in flash mode (
Application
This mode is suitable for indoor portraits and
identification shots using an external strobe only. It is
necessary to adjust the power of the external strobe.

In this mode, the shutter speed is fixed to
built-in strobe does not light. The ISO sensitivity
equivalent value is ISO 130, with the exposure set at
the center.
Manual intervention
The user can manually change the exposure by a half
step towards the under and over sides (±0.5 EV).
For WHITE BALANCE, select one of the following
values: 4000K, 4400K, 4800K, 5200K, 5600K,
6000K, 6500K, and 7000K. The factory default is
5600K. Manually change the white balance setting
according to the operating conditions.
For APERTURE, select OPEN or CLOSE. Use OPEN
(F4 to F4.7) whenever possible.

The camera has a fixed iris. Therefore, exposure
adjustment must be left to the external strobe in this
mode, since the built-in strobe does not light and the

The camera has an exposure compensation feature, and
you can manually lower the EXPOSURE value to -0.5

external strobe to obtain the best exposure while
keeping the EXPOSURE value at the center. Use the

Application
Use this mode only under a stable light source. No
strobe can be used. This mode is suitable when a video
light is used. The convenient One Push White Balance
function is available.

exposure. Such a shutter speed is not suitable for a
strobe, so the FLASH jack and hot shoe are disabled.
Manual intervention
The user can manually change the exposure by two
steps towards the under and over sides. The shutter
speed is fundamentally changed.
For WHITE BALANCE, select one of the following
values: 4000K, 4400K, 4800K, 5200K, 5600K, and
6000K. The convenient One Push White Balance
feature is effective.

1 Tips
One Push White Balance feature is to adjust the white
balance easily. Place a white subject under the
lighting you intend to use for taking pictures, and set
the camera so that the subject appears on the whole
screen of the LCD. Select MAN for the white balance,
and press SET of the mode button. The white balance
is adjusted.

Red eye reduction mode (

Application
People's eyes may appear red on a picture because of
the light from a strobe. As a countermeasure, this
camera's lens and built-in strobe are located away
from each other. If the red eye phenomenon still
persists, use this red eye reduction mode. In this mode,
the built-in strobe flashes in a special pattern that
works to moderate the red eye phenomenon.
Otherwise, the operation is the same as in the auto
flash mode (A ). Therefore, this mode is not suitable
for shots using an external strobe.
