This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash is reflected in the subject's eyes. It can be reduced by illuminating the area around the subject or moving 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. Saving the Flash Mode 1p. 86 4 Taking Pictures 74 Rec.
