Red-eye Reduction

When you use flash in low-light conditions, it can reflect off your subject’s pupils and make their eyes look red in the photograph. This effect is called “red-eye,” and is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the retina of the eye. The Red-eye reduction function uses the camera’s red- eye reduction lamp, which gently shines into the subject’s eyes to constrict the pupils and thereby reduces the likelihood that red-eye will occur. You can use red-eye reduction in any

picture-taking mode except 〈 〉 and 〈 〉 modes.
