Red-Eye (): “Red-eye” is the phenomenon where eyes look reddish in photographs taken in dark environments with a flash. The Red-eye flash option can be used to reduce this phenomenon.

This allows you to have the same brightness for the background and subject when using a slow shutter speed and firing the flash.

Do not fire the flash with the flash bulb covered with your hand.

Do not fire the flash close to people’s eyes as the subjects could suffer a temporary loss of eyesight.

• The recommended distance to the subject when using the built-in flash is approximately 7 to 10 feet.

The battery power will be consumed faster with repeated use of the flash.
