44 HP Photosmart R707 User’s Manual
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.
NOTE You can remove red eyes from subjects in still images
that you have taken using the Remove Red Eyes option in
the Playback Menu (see page 91).
