appear natural when photographing people in low-

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