Dealing with red-eye

When you photograph a person in dim light using flash, the pupil of the eye will sometimes appear red. Under low light, the pupils of the eye dilate for better vision. Red-eye is caused by light from the flash entering the dilated pupils and being reflected back to the lens. Red-eye reduction causes a preliminary flash to fire before the actual picture is taken. This causes the pupil to contract, reducing this reflection. When the actual flash exposure is made, the de- gree of reflection is minimized, thus reducing red-eye.

When using red-eye reduction mode

●Ask your subject to look directly into the camera.

●Approach as closely as possible to make your exposure.

( )Back light compensation flash mode

Use this mode to avoid deep shadows when photographing against the light such as a person standing in front of a window or under a tree with a very bright background. This produces more natural looking flash photographs.

Flash pictures taken even in a bright place.
