Red-Eye Reduction
Use this mode to ensure that the subject’s eyes
appear natural when photographing people in
low-light conditions. The flash fires automatically
as required by the photography conditions.
The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture is
taken and then fires again to take the actual picture.
c
Forced Flash
Use this 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.

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 to effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect.
Take the following measures also to make Red-Eye Reduction more effective:
●
Get the subjects to look at the camera.
●
Get as close as possible to the subjects.
