RED-EYE REDUCTION
Red-eye reduction is used when taking photographs of people or
animals in low-light conditions. The red-eye effect is caused by light
reflected from the retina of the eye. The camera fires several pre-
flashes before the main flash burst to contract the pupils of the
subject’s eyes.
