Pupils become dilated in dark environments. The flash light is reflected off the blood vessels at the

second until the shutter is released, and also be sure not to allow the subject to move during this
period.
[Red Eye Reduction] may not produce the desired effects. It depends on individual differences and
conditions, such as the distance to the subject or if the subject looked away from the pre-strobe.
