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 a
pre-flash to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the image to close, which reduces
the chance of red eye.
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 (flash).
• Red-eye reduction may not work very well if the subjects are located far away from the
camera.

camera, and the flash charge condition.
