Setting the Red-eye Reduction Function
The Red-eye reduction function fires when the flash is used in dark areas. This prevents
light from reflecting back from the eyes and making them appear red.
When shooting with the red-eye reduction function, the subjects must look right at the
flash for this mode to be effective. Try asking them to look directly at the flash. Even
better results can be obtained by shooting with the lens set to a wide angle, by increasing
the lighting indoor settings, or by approaching closer to the subject.
