Olympus Stylus Zoom 80 Wide DIX - Manual (Page 36)

RED-EYE REDUCING FLASH
Significantly reduces the phenomenon of
"red-eye" (when a subject's eyes appear red
in flash photography).
In the flash mode, the camera will fire a series of
low-power pre-flashes before the regular flash. This
makes the subject's pupils contract, significantly
reducing red-eye. Except for the pre-flashes, this mode
is the same as the Auto Flash mode.
Red-eye reduction may not be effective when the
subject.
Is not looking at the flash from the right front.
Is not watching the pre-flashes.
Is too far from the camera.
The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies depending
on the individual characteristics of subjects.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to hold the camera still until the
shutter releases. It takes approximately one second.
