<@> Using Red-eye Reduction
When flash is used in a low-light environment, the subject’s eyes may
come out red in the photograph. “Red eye” happens when the light from the
flash reflects off the retina of the eyes.
The camera’s red-eye reduction feature turns on the 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 shooting mode except <^> and <%^>.
