About the Red-Eye Reduction Function

A subject’s eyes can appear red in an image shot with a flash in dim lighting due to light reflecting back from the eye’s blood vessels, which is known as the red-eye phenomenon. The red-eye reduction lamp fires a soft pre-flash that causes the pupils to contract, thereby lessening the chances of the eyes appearing red when the main flash fires.

-Tell human subjects to look at the lamp since the function will not have any effect if the subject is not looking at the red-eye reduction lamp.

-The effect is made stronger by increasing the room lighting or by approaching closer to the subject.
