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.
To activate red-eye reduction lamp, be sure to turn the Flash/Macro switch ON
first. Then hold down the shutter release button halfway for a few seconds
before pressing the button all the way to fire the flash.
