If the flash setting is anything other than the default Auto Flash setting, the icon for the setting will appear in the Live View screen. The Flash setting remains in effect until it is changed again, or until it resets to the default Auto Flash when you turn the camera off. To save changed settings, use My Mode (see page 55). NOTE: The flash is not available in Panorama, Sunset, Document, or Museum shooting modes, with the Burst setting, nor is it available while recording video clips. Red Eye The red-eye phenomenon is caused by light from the flash reflecting off the subjects' eyes, which sometimes makes a human's eyes appear red or an animal's eyes appear green or white in the captured image. When you use a flash setting with red-eye reduction, the camera flashes quickly up to three times to minimize the subject's pupils, thus reducing the effect of the red-eye phenomenon, before the camera uses the main flash. It will take longer to take a picture using red-eye reduction, because the shutter is delayed for the additional flashes. Therefore, make sure your subjects wait for the additional flashes. TIP: You can also remove red eyes in pictures you have already taken. See Remove Red Eyes on page 98. 48 HP Photosmart R717 User's Manual
