Red-Eye Reduction The "Red-eye reduction" flash function of the E7900/E5900 uses an advanced red-eye reduction method. Several pre-flashes are fired before the main flash fires to reduce "red-eye." In addition to this function, if "red-eye" is detected the camera will automatically correct it when storing the picture ("In-Camera Red-Eye Fix"). Using this function there is slight delay before you can press the shutter release again for the next shot. Depending on the situation, red-eye reduction may not always produce the desired results. In some rare cases, other picture areas may be affected as well as the "redeye" area. In this case, choose another flash mode and try again. More on Photography 45
