Use A Red Eye Reduction Flash

Use lamps and window light with red-eye reduction to reduce glowing eyes.


When photographed with flash, some people have red glowing eyes in pictures. The pose of the person, amount of light in the room, shape of her eyes and size of his pupils all determine how much of a red reflection will show in the pictures. Reduce this phenomenon by altering the surrounding environment and forgoing the "Auto" flash function on your camera. Using the red-eye reduction flash feature minimizes the reflection of red blood vessels in human eyes which ultimately reduces the appearance of red-eye.








Instructions


1. Turn on lamps, open window shades and illuminate overhead lighting to brighten the room.


2. Pose people with their faces at a slight angle to the camera by tilting or turning their heads.


3. Press the "Power" button on the camera to turn it on.


4. Select the flash menu or press the lightning bolt icon to access the flash features. Scroll through the options and press "OK" or "Set" on the red-eye reduction mode.


5. Look through the camera's viewfinder or at the LCD screen on the back of the camera to compose the picture.








6. Press the shutter button once to activate the red-eye reduction feature, make the camera flash and record the photo.
