Significantly reduces the phenomenon of
"red-eye" (when a subject's eyes appear
red in flash photography).
In the Auto-S Flash mode, the camera will emit a series
of low-power pre-flashes before the regular flash. This
makes the subject's pupils contract, significantly
reducing red-eye. Except for the pre-flashes, this mode
is the same as the Auto Flash mode.
Red-eye reduction may not be effective when the
subject:
1. Is not looking at the flash from the right front.
2. Is not watching the pre-flashes.
3. Is too far from the camera.
4. Does not respond to the pre-flashes due to
particular individual characteristics.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to hold the camera still until the
shutter releases. It takes about one second.
