About Red-eye Phenomenon Shooting portraits with flash in a dark environment often causes a subject's eyes to turn out reddish in the print. This phenomenon, commonly known as "RedEye", is caused by the reflection of the electric flash in the retina of your subjects eye. It can be reduced by taking the photo in a brighter light condition or by shooting with a wider angle lens at a closer distance, or by employing the red-eye reduction flash feature. When using a Pentax dedicated flash unit off the camera, it may also help to position the flash as far away from the camera as possible. (ONI.LOONS) NOLLVH3d0 3ISV9

is

and
the
slave
flash
function
is
in
use,
the
red

flash
function
cannot
be
used
as
the
slave

is
discharged
when
the
preflash
of
the

is
discharged.
When only
a

About
Red
-eye
Phenomenon
Shooting
portraits
with
flash
in
a
dark
environment
often
causes
a
subject's
eyes
to
turn
out
reddish
in
the
print.
This
phenomenon,
commonly
known
as
"Red
-
Eye",
is
caused
by
the
reflection
of
the
electric
flash
in
the
retina
of
your
subjects
eye.
It
can
be
reduced
by
tak-
ing
the
photo
in
a
brighter
light
condition
or
by
shooting
with
a
wider
angle
lens
at
a
closer
distance,
or
by
em-
ploying
the
red
-eye
reduction
flash
feature.
When
using
a
Pentax
dedicated
flash
unit
off
the
camera,
it
may
also
help
to
position
the
flash
as
far
away
from
the
camera
as
possible.
