Using Red-Eye Reduction - Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi Instruction Manual

Using the Built-in Flash
• If the subject is far away, increase the ISO speed.
A higher ISO speed increases the effective range or distance of the flash.
• In bright light, decrease the ISO speed.
If the exposure setting in the viewfinder blinks in bright light, decrease the ISO speed.
• Detach the lens hood and keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away
from the subject.
If the lens hood (optional) is attached or if you are too close to the
subject, the bottom portion of the picture might turn out dark. For
important shots, check the image on the LCD monitor to make sure
the flash exposure looks good (not dark at the bottom).
• Shooting without the built-in flash.
Shooting under low light can cause blur due to camera shake. Hold
the camera as still as possible or use a tripod.
Using the red-eye reduction lamp before taking a flash picture can
reduce red eye. Red-eye reduction can be set in any shooting mode
except <tA> <I:D>
<~>.
• Under the [01] tab, select [Red-eye
On/Off] and press

shutter button completely, the picture
will be taken.
