About the red-eye phenomenon Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject's eyes to appear red in the resulting picture.

Setting the flash mode to c (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) is also an effective way of reducing red eyes. If the subject's eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be corrected by the red-eye compensation function (p.205). Saving the Flash Mode setting 1p.158 118
