What causes the red-eye phenomenon?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Contents list

 

Pupils become dilated in dark environments. Flash light is reflected off the blood vessels at the

 

 

back of the eye (retina) (A), causing the “red-eye” phenomenon.

 

 

Other ways to reduce red-eye

Select (High Sensitivity) mode in Scene Selection. (The flash is set to [Off] automatically.)

When the eyes of the subject turn out red, correct the image with [Retouch] [Red Eye Correction] on the viewing menu or with the supplied software “PMB”.

Notes

To avoid blurring of images, hold the camera firmly until the shutter is released. It usually takes a second until the shutter is released, and also be sure not to allow the subject to move during this period.

Red Eye Reduction may not produce the desired effects. It depends on individual differences and conditions, such as distance to the subject, or if the subject looked away from the pre-strobe.

If you do not use the Face Detection function, Red Eye Reduction does not work, even when you select [Auto].

[Red Eye Reduction] is set to [Off] in the following situations:

When (High Sensitivity) mode is selected in Scene Selection. When Smile Shutter function is activated.
