[ i ] Red-Eye Reduction
Use this mode to avoid the “red-eye effect” when photographing people in
low-light conditions.
The flash emits a pre-flash right before the picture is taken and then flashes
again to take the actual picture.
Red-Eye Effect
When you use the flash to photograph people in low-light conditions, their eyes
sometimes appear red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash
reflecting off the inside of the eye. To minimise the likelihood of the red-eye
effect, take the following precautions when you take the picture:
1. Use Red-Eye Reduction mode.
2. Get the subjects to look at the camera.
3. Get as close as possible to the subjects.
