Light is reflected back from the eyes when the flash is used in dark areas.

zShoot with the [Red-Eye Lamp] in the [Flash Settings] set to [On] (p. 77). For this mode to be effective, the subject must be looking right at the red-eye reduction lamp. Try asking them to look directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by increasing the lighting in indoor settings or approaching closer to the subject. The shutter will not activate for approximately 1 second after the red-eye reduction lamp fires in order to improve the effect.
