NOTE

The red-eye phenomenon is caused by light from the

flash reflecting off the subjects’ eyes, which sometimes

makes a human’s or animal’s eyes appear red in the

captured image. When you use a flash setting with

red-eye reduction, the camera flashes twice, minimizing

the red-eye in the captured images of humans or animals.

It will take longer to take a picture using red-eye

reduction, because the shutter is delayed for the

additional flash. In turn, make sure your subjects wait for

the second flash.

NOTE

You can remove red eyes from subjects in still images

that you have taken using the

Remove Red Eyes

option in

the

Playback Menu

(see page 91).
