When the red-eye reduction function is set and
the shutter button is pressed halfway, the bar
indicators in the LCD panel and viewfinder light
up for about 1.5 seconds. When these indica-

Light from the built-in flash may be blocked
when using the following lenses. When using
such alens we recommend using a dedicated
external flash unit.
e Large aperture lenses such as the EF
20~35mm f/2.8L and EF 28~80mm f/2.8-
4L.
e Super-telephoto lenses such as the EF
300mm f/2.8L and EF 600mm f/4L.
Red-eye Reduction Function
The subject's eyes may appear red in flash
photos due to a phenomenon called “red
eye,” caused by light reflecting from the re-
tina.
When the red-eye reduction function is set
and the shutter button is pressed halfway,
the red-eye reduction lamp lights to illumi-
nate the subject before the flash fires to re-
duce the size of the subject's pupils and mi-
nimize the chance of red eye. Red-eye re-
duction can be set in creative zone modes
and in Full Auto ( © ), Portrait ( ® ) and
Close-up ( & ) image zone modes.
e Although setting is possible, red-eye re-
duction will not function in Sports ( & )
and Landscape ( ña ) modes.
