Using
Red-eye
Reduction Effectively
lll
When
you
use
the flash to take
photos
of
people
in low
light conditions,
their
eyes
sometimes
glow
red in the
photograph.
This is referred to as
the
red-eye
effect
and is caused by
the light of
the flash being
reflected
off
the retina of the eye.
In
@
mode, the
red-eye reduction
lamp lights for
approximately
1 second before
the flash
fires. This
causes
the subject's
pupils
to contract,
minimizing the
risk of
red-eve.
O
take the
picture
from
within 2 m/6.6 ft. of
your
subject.

reduction
lamp has an effective
range of
