RED-EYE REDUCING FLASH

Significantly reduces the phenomenon of “red-eye” (when a subject’s eyes appear red in flash photography).

In the Red-Eye Reducing Flash mode, the camera will emit a series of low-power pre-flashes before the regular flash. This makes the subject’s pupils contract, significantly reducing red- eye. Except for the pre-flashes, this mode is the same as the Auto-Flash mode.

Note:

◆Be sure to hold the camera still until the shutter releases. This takes about one second.

◆Red-eye reduction may not be effective when the subject:

•Is too far from the camera.

•Is not looking at the flash from the front or is not watching the pre-flashes.

•Does not respond to the pre-flashes due to particular individual characteristics.

•Has taken medication, alcohol or drugs which may interfere with the red-eye reduction process by slowing reflexes.
