Red-Eye Reduction
Light reflecting back from eyes can make them appear red when the
flash is used in dark areas. Under these conditions, use the red-eye
reduction mode. For this mode to be effective, the subject must be
looking right at the red-eye reduction lamp. Try asking them to look
directly at the lamp. Even better results can be obtained by shooting with
the lens set to a wide angle, increasing the lighting in indoor settings or
moving closer to the subject.
The flash timing is adjusted to slow shutter speeds. This reduces the
chance that only the background will appear dark when a person is shot
against a twilight background or night scene, or when an interior shot is
taken.
