In Red Eye flash, you can reduce red eye by using a preflash or by using

 

automatic red eye reduction. To make the camera:

 

Preflash, turn the Red Eye Preflash on. (The first flash shrinks the eye

 

pupil to reduce the chance of red eye.)

Flash once and automatically remove red eye, turn the Red Eye

Your camera saves the flash setting, even after you turn off the camera. To make the camera return to its default settings (such as Auto flash), turn off Maintain Settings (see page 30).
