Using Red-eye Reduction
Detach the lens hood and keep at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the subject. If the
lens has a hood attached or you are too close to the subject, the bottom of the picture
might look dark due to the obstructed flash. If you use a telephoto lens or a fast lens
and the flash is still partially obstructed, use an EX-series Speedlite (sold separately).
The red-eye reduction feature is most effective when the subject looks at the red-
eye reduction lamp, when the room is well lit, or when you go closer to the subject.
When you press the shutter button halfway, the viewfinder display on the bottom
will gradually turn off. For best results, take the picture after this display turns off.
The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies from subject to subject.
