NOTE The red-eye phenomenon is caused by light from the flash reflecting off the subjects' eyes, which sometimes makes a human's or animal's eyes appear red in the captured image. When you use a flash setting with red-eye reduction, the camera flashes twice, minimizing the red-eye in the captured images of humans or animals. It will take longer to take a picture using red-eye reduction, because the shutter is delayed for the additional flash. In turn, make sure your subjects wait for the second flash. NOTE You can remove red eyes from human subjects in still images that you have taken using the Remove Red Eyes option in the Playback Menu (see page 80).
