Using the flash when capturing images at a close distance may cause
irregularities in the image due to the light distribution. When using the
flash at an extremely close distance, a shadow of the lens may appear
in the picture taken.
About the red-eye phenomenon
Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject’s eyes to appear red in
the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when the light from the flash is
reflected in the subject’s eyes. It can be reduced by increasing the illumination
in the area around the subject and/or decreasing the subject distance and
adjusting the lens to wider angle setting. Setting the flash mode to D, F or
H is also an effective way of reducing red eyes.
If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they can be corrected
by the Red-eye Edit function (p.153).
