RED-EYE REDUCING FLASH
In the Red-Eye Reducing Flash mode, the camera will emit 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.
Significantly reduces the phenomenon of “red-eye”
(when a subject’s eyes appear red in flash photography).
◆ Be sure to hold the camera still until the shutter
releases. This takes about one second.
◆ Red-eye reduction may not be effective when the
subject:
•
Is too far from the camera.
• Is not looking at the flash from the front or is
not watching the pre-flashes.
•
Does not respond to the pre-flashes due to
particular individual characteristics.
• Has taken medication, alcohol or drugs which
may interfere with the red-eye reduction
process by slowing reflexes.
