AVOIDING “RED EYE’^

"Red eye” is a common phenomenon in flash photog­
raphy where the center portions of a subject's eyes

appear as bright red orbs in color photographs, or

white In black-and-white pictures.

To avoid "red eye," take any or all of the following pre­

cautions:

• Ask the subject not to look directly into the lens when

the picture is taken.

• Using a sync cord or TTL Remote Cord SC-17, remove

the flash unit from the camera and hold it as far away
from the camera as possible.

• Increase the overall room illumination to reduce

opening of the subject’s pupils.
