Red-Eye Effect
When you use the flash to photograph people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear red in the picture. This
is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. Use Red-Eye Reduction flash mode to effectively
minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect.
Take the following measures also to make Red-Eye Reduction mode more effective:
Get the subjects to look at the camera.
Get as close as possible to the subjects.

Forced Flash
Use this flash mode to photograph backlit
scenes, such as a subject against a window or
in the shade of a tree, or to obtain the correct
colors when you are shooting under lighting
such as fluorescent tubes. In this mode, the
flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.
