Red eye The red-eye phenomenon is caused when light from the flash reflects off the subjects' eyes, which can make human eyes appear red in the captured image. If you turn on Red-Eye Removal (see Red-Eye Removal under Using the Capture Menu on page 20), the camera examines the image after taking it. If the camera detects red eyes, it then processes the image to remove them. This examination and processing takes additional time. If you find the additional time too long, you can turn off Red-Eye Removal and remove the red eyes after you have captured the image, using either Remove Red Eyes (see Remove Red Eyes under Using the Design Gallery Menu on page 31) or the HP Photosmart Software that came with your camera. Using the shooting modes Shooting modes allow you to optimize shutter settings for the scene you are shooting. Most shooting modes predefine these settings for certain types of scenes, allowing you to take pictures quickly when you do not have the time to specify the settings yourself. Other settings (such as Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual) let you specify settings, allowing you complete control for difficult scenes or special effects.
