Red-eye reduction
Using the flash to shoot at night or in a dimly lit room can cause
red spots inside the eyes of people who are in the image. This is
caused when the light from the flash reflects off of the retina of
the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode,
the camera fires the REC light before recording in order to cause
the irises in the eyes of any people in the image to close. This
reduces the chance of red eye.
IMPORTANT!
• Note the following important points when using red-eye
reduction.
– Red-eye reduction does not work unless the people in
the image are looking directly at the camera (REC light).
Before pressing the shutter button, call out to the
subjects so they all look at the camera.
– Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects
are located far away from the camera.
