About red-eye reduction
Using the flash to record at night or in a dimly lit room can cause red spots inside the eyes of
people who are in the image. This is caused when the light from the flash reflects off of the
retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode, the camera performs
two pre-flash operations, one designed to cause the irises in the eyes of any people in the
image to close, and one for the Auto Focus operation. This is followed by another flash
operation for actual recording of the image.
