To turn the flash off, press the pop-up flash assembly down until

it snaps shut. When the flash is off, the FLASH OFF icon appears at the top of the Live View screen.

NOTE The red-eye phenomenon is caused by light from the flash reflecting off the subjects’ eyes, which sometimes makes a human’s or animal’s eyes appear red in the captured image. When you use a flash setting with Red-eye Reduction, the camera flashes twice, minimizing the red-eye in the captured images of humans or animals. It will take longer to take a picture using Red-eye Reduction, because the shutter is delayed for the additional flash. In turn, make sure your subjects wait for the second flash.
