AUTO FLASH

RED EYE
This mode can reduce the red-eye phenomenon when you want to capture
natural-looking images of people and animals in low-light conditions.
When capturing images, the red-eye phenomenon can be reduced by asking
the subject (person) to look at the camera lens or get as close to the camera
as possible.
