[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 196044, member: 12496"] I agree with Glenn, we never want red eye reduction. For one thing, when you press the shutter, it delays a second while it flashes 2 or 3 times. That one second is extreme shutter lag, you won't like it. And red eye is very rarely a problem on speedlights anyway, just not a concern. Esp not if using the proper bounce flash.. Have the red eye problem first before solving it. [IMG]http://nikonites.com/images/smilies/smile.png[/IMG] But bounce flash is the technique you want to learn, not red eye. Bounce flash is some of the best lighting, direct flash is some of the worst lighting. Red eye happens often on little compact cameras, which are always direct flash, and the flash is only about 1/2 inch from the little lens. This tiny angle tends to reflect back from the eyes, causing red eye. It is a huge problem on compacts. But even direct flash on the speedlight is maybe 5 inches from lens (10x farther, minimum). (The SB-700 is bigger and better in this regard than the SB-400). Red eye is not impossible at greater distances (like 12 feet), but it is rare. And for bounce flash, red eye is pretty much out of the question altogether. And also not a problem for off camera flash. [/QUOTE]
