About Red-eye Phenomenon
Shooting portraits with flash in a dark environment
often causes a subject's eyes to turn out reddish in the
print. This phenomenon, commonly known as "Red-
Eye". is caused by the reflection of the electric flash in
the retina of your subjects eye. It can be reduced by tak¬
ing the photo in a brighter light condition or by shooting
with a wider angle lens at a closer distance, or by em¬
ploying the red-eye reduction flash feature. When using
a Pentax dedicated flash unit off the camera, it may also
help to position the flash as far away from the camera
as possible.
