Red-eye effect
When using the flash to take a picture of people in low-
light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear red in the
picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting
off the inside of the eye.
Use this mode in backlit scenes, or to get the correct
colors when taking a picture under bright lighting.
In this mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark
conditions.
