About Red-eye Phenomenon
Shooting
portraits
with
flash
in
a
dark
environment
often causes a subject's eyes to turn out reddish in the
print.
This
phenomenon,
commonly
known
as
"Red-
Eye", is caused by the reflection of the electronic flash
in the retina of your subjects eye. It can be reduced by
taking the photo in a brighter light condition or by
shooting with a wider angle lens at a closer distance, or
by employing the red-eye reduction flash feature. When
using a Pentax dedicated flash unit off the camera, it
may also help to position the flash as far away from the
camera as possible.
