Red-Eye Reduction Flash Function - Pentax ZX-5 Operating Manual

1
This camera includes a red-eye reduction flash function,
which reduces the red-eye phenomenon by utilizing a
preflash. In this mode, the preflash is discharged just
before the shutter is released which reduces the diame¬
ter of the pupil of the eye. Then the main flash is dis¬
charged while the pupils are smaller, which in turn
reduce the red-eye effect.
