Red-Eye Reduction/Self-Timer Lamp:
When you set your flash to Red-
Eye Reduction mode, this little lamp (see the right side of Figure 1-10)
emits a brief burst of light prior to the real flash — the idea being that
your subjects’ pupils will constrict in response to the light, thus lessen-
ing the chances of red-eye. If you use the camera’s self-timer feature, the
lamp blinks to provide you with a visual countdown to the moment at
which the picture will be recorded. See Chapter 2 for more details about
Red-Eye Reduction flash mode and the self-timer function.
