Problems with Images
SYMPTOM
The subject’s eyes appear red in pictures recorded with the flash.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
1The flash is in the Auto-
flash mode.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1This “red-eye phenomenon”
occurs with all cameras when
a flash is used. It is caused by
light from the flash reflecting
off the retina at the back of
the eye. Red-eye varies
depending on the individual
and the shooting conditions
such as ambient lighting. Use
of the Red-Eye Reducing Pre-
Flash mode significantly
reduces this phenomenon.
