Redeye Reduction

Red reflection is caused by a built-in or clip-on flash positioned too close to the lens.

By rasing the flash, you can prevent direct reflection on the camera lens.
|
One of the most popular features on the SLR today, the built-in flash, almost always causes redeye in subjects. Redeye occurs when a flash positioned near the lens of the camera enters the pupils of a subject's eyes, then bouncing off the blood-rich retinal membranes back to the camera. Redeye can be avioded simply by rasing the flash further away from the lens. |
Redeye Solutions
Change flash beam's geometry:
- Use bounce flash with your SLR's flash: Whether off the ceiling, walls, or a reflector.
- Move closer to the subject using a wider-angle lens changing the relative angle of the flash beam.

Narrow subject's pupils:
- Turn up room lights.
- Some cameras have a type of redeye reduction called Preflash. Your flash fires one or more preliminary pupil-narrowing flashes then takes the photo.
- Incandescent beams use the same principle, except the beam is steady, causing less distraction to the subject.
