Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 33
To turn the flash off, press the pop-up flash assembly down until
it snaps shut. When the flash is off, the
FLASH OFF icon
appears at the top of the Live View screen.
NOTE The red-eye phenomenon is caused by light from the
flash reflecting off the subjects’ eyes, which sometimes
makes a human’s or animal’s eyes appear red in the
captured image. When you use a flash setting with
Red-eye Reduction, the camera flashes twice, minimizing
the red-eye in the captured images of humans or animals.
It will take longer to take a picture using Red-eye
Reduction, because the shutter is delayed for the
additional flash. In turn, make sure your subjects wait for
the second flash.

The camera fires the flash if necessary to
illuminate objects in the foreground. It then
continues to expose as if the flash had not
fired to gather the background.
