RED-EYE REDUCTION
Red-eye reduction is used when taking photographs of people or animals in low-light conditions. The red-eye effect is caused by light reflected from the retina of the eye. The camera fires several pre- flashes before the main flash burst to contract the pupils of the subject’s eyes.
Turn the function dial to the red- eye reduction position (1).
While pressing the function button (2), turn the control dial (3) until “On” is displayed on the data panel. Release the function button.
When this function is active, the red-eye reduction indicator is displayed on the data panel. To cancel red-eye reduction, repeat the procedure above until “OFF” is displayed in the data panel.
Red-eye reduction can be used with autoflash and fill flash (p. 24). It cannot be used with accessory flash units nor wireless/remote flash control.
