The effect of red-eye reduction varies depending on the subject and is affected by
factors such as distance to the subject, whether the subject is looking at the camera
during preliminary flash, and so on. In some cases, the effect of red-eye reduction may
be negligible.

Do not put your hands over the light-emitting area of the flash
or look at it from close range (a few centimetres away).
Do not use the flash at close distances to other subjects (heat/
