Red-Eye Effect
When you use the flash to photograph people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear red in
the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. Use Red-Eye
Reduction flash to effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect.
Take the following measures also to make Red-Eye Reduction more effective:
h Get the subjects to look at the camera.

Red-Eye Reduction
n
Use this mode to ensure that the subject's eyes
appear natural when photographing people in
low-light conditions.
The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture
is taken and then fires again to take the actual
picture.
h Get as close as possible to the subjects.
z Forced Flash
Use this flash mode to photograph backlit
scenes, such as a subject against a window or
in the shade of a tree, or to obtain the correct
colors when you are shooting under lighting
such as fluorescent tubes. In this mode, the
flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.
v Slow Synchro
This is a flash mode that uses a slow shutter
speed. This allows you to take pictures of people
at night that clearly show both your subjects and
the night-time backdrop.
? Red-Eye Reduction + Slow Synchro
Use this mode for slow synchro shots with red-
eye reduction.

The image may be overexposed when you shoot
bright scenes.

Because a slow shutter speed is used, a tripod
should be used to prevent camera shake.
To take a picture of a main subject at night with the
background brightly lit, please use the "E" mode
"/" (Night Scene) settings (➡P.45).
