in ash shots. Note that while the red-eye reduction lamp is on (for about one
second), it is not possible to shoot, because the lamp is counteracting red-eye. For
best results, have subjects look at the red-eye reduction lamp. Also try increasing the
lighting in indoor scenes and shooting at closer range.
• Edit images using red-eye correction (=
