  2. What is this Phenomena called Red Eye? The red-eye effect is caused by light from the flash passing through the pupil and being reflected on the retina. The retina at the back of the eyeball has a plentiful supply of blood and makes the entire pupil look red. 2

  3. What to do with your camera settings. Built in flash settings: Because the lens and flash are very close together, red-eye has a greater probability of occurring. • Lower the risk, get further away from your subject. Take your photo at a slight angle rather than straight on. • Use the preflash setting.(reduces red-eye by forcing the pupil to contract). • Avoid dark rooms, look for better lighting conditions. • Use the red-eye reduction setting on your camera. • Use a tripod and try the Slow-sync with red-eye reduction setting. (indoors especially) 3

  4. What to do with your camera settings.External flash : Analog remedies If your camera has a hot shoe,the external dedicated flash should be bounced up, down and away from the center of the eye. or Try using a cable that would allow you to use the external flash as a hand held unit away from the lens of the camera. 4
