Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 33
To turn the flash off, press the pop-up flash assembly down until
it snaps shut. When the flash is off, the
FLASH OFF icon
appears at the top of the Live View screen.
NOTE The red-eye phenomenon is caused by light from the
flash reflecting off the subjects’ eyes, which sometimes
makes a human’s or animal’s eyes appear red in the
captured image. When you use a flash setting with
Red-eye Reduction , the camera flashes twice, minimizing
the red-eye in the captured images of humans or animals.
It will take longer to take a picture using Red-eye
Reduction , because the shutter is delayed for the
additional flash. In turn, make sure your subjects wait for
the second flash.
