Red-Eye Reduction
When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject's eyes may look
red in the photograph. “Red eye” happens when the light from the flash
reflects off the pupils of the eyes.
The camera’s red-eye reduction feature uses red-eye reduction lamp to
shine a gentle light into the subject’s eyes to narrow the pupil diameter or
iris. A smaller pupil reduces the chances of red eye from occurring. Red­
eye reduction can be set in any picture-taking mode.
