Red-Eye Reduction - Canon EOS D60 Instructions Manual

Red-eye Reduction

When you use flash in low-light conditions, it can reflect off your subject's pupils and make
their eyes look red in the recorded imge. This effect is called "red-eye," and is caused by the
light of the flash reflecting off the retina of the eye. The Red-eye reduction function uses the
camera's red-eye reduction lamp, which gently shines into the subject's eyes to constrict the
pupils and thereby reduces the likelihood that red-eye will occur. You can use red-eye reduc-
tion in any picture-taking mode except <

closer to the subject.
