Red-eye reduction
In flash photography, the subject's eyes sometimes appear bright red in color
pictures (white in b/w ones) due to a phenomenon known as "red-eye." To
counteract this effect, your camera comes with a red-eye reduction lamp. When
the shutter release button is pressed lightly, the red-eye reduction lamp lights up,
causing the size of the subject's pupil to grow smaller, thus reducing the possibility
of red-eye effect.
Hold down the shutter release button halfway for a few seconds before pressing
the button all the way to fire the flash.
