About the red-eye phenomenon

Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject's eyes to appear red in

the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash is

reflected in the subject's eyes. It can be reduced by illuminating the area around

the subject or moving closer to the subject and zooming out to a wider angle.

Setting the flash mode to & (Auto + Red-eye) or % (Flash On + Red-eye) is also

an effective way of reducing red eyes.

Ifthe subject's eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be corrected

by the red-eye compensation function (p.203).

of recorded pixels. 3MI is adequate for making postcard-size prints. The
