Flash Photography and the Red-eye
Reduction Function
The subject’s eyes may appear red in
flash photos due to light reflected from
the retina. This phenomenon is called
“red eye.’’ To minimize red eye, this
camera automatically activates its built-
in red-eye reduction function in (Self-
timer) mode, Q (Full Auto) mode
and O (Portrait) mode when using
flash in a situation where red-eye is
likely to occur. In this mode, a lamp in
the flash lights momentarily to reduce
the size of the subject’s pupils before
the flash fires. When the shutter button
is pressed halfway, the viewfinder
display blinks for 2 seconds and the red
eye reduction lamp lights. When the
viewfinder display stops blinking, press
the shutter button all the way to take the
picture.
