• The effectiveness of the red-eye reduction mode may be reduced depending on the distance to the subject, if the subject is not looking directly at the flash or the pre-flash, or individual characteristics such as light-colored eyes. In addition, red-eye is often more pronounced in young children.

Caution

This mode may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.
