Flash Photography

93

When you use flash in low-light conditions, it can reflect off your subject’s pupils and make their 
eyes look red in the photograph. This effect is called “red-eye,” and is caused by the light of the
flash reflecting off the retina of the eye. The Red-eye reduction function uses the camera’s red-
eye reduction lamp, which gently shines into the subject’s eyes to constrict the pupils and
thereby reduces the likelihood that red-eye will occur. You can use red-eye reduction in any
picture-taking mode except

When you press the shutter button down halfway, the red-
eye reduction lamp indicator appears in the viewfinder.

●

Red-eye reduction is effective only when the subject is
looking at the red-eye reduction lamp. Be sure to tell your
subjects to look at the lamp.

●

To increase the effectiveness of red-eye reduction, press
the shutter button down fully approximately 1.5 seconds
after the red-eye reduction lamp indicator goes off.

●

You can take a picture anytime by pressing the shutter
button down fully, even if the red-eye reduction lamp is on.

●

Red-eye reduction also operates when you use an EOS-
dedicated Speedlite.

●

The effectiveness of red-eye reduction varies from subject
to subject.

Red-eye reduction is more effective in bright interior locations, with the camera
close to the subject.
