About the red-eye phenomenon
Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject’s eyes to appear red in the
resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash is reflectedin the subject’s eyes. It can be reduced by illuminating the area around the subject ormoving closer to the subject and zooming out to a wider angle. Setting the flash mode
to c (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) is also an effective way of reducing
red eyes.
If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be corrected by
the red-eye compensation function (p.152).
