Reducing Red Eye How does this flash do, in terms of reducing red eye, with Canon cameras?

The best way to eliminate red-eye is to move the flash away from the camera. If the flash is a foot or more from the camera, you will rarely get red-eye. Two feet and you will never get it.

This is actually the only thing that disappoints me with my Canon (IXY 700/SD 500). It's my first Canon and I think it's a great machine. However, the Red-Eye Reduction is almost worthless, IMO. That's part of the reason I was looking at the extra flash on this page- thought that it might help out in some of the low-light situations where the Red-Eye performs worst. At least the barely functional Red-Eye is better than the Nikon S5 that I tried out. The Nikon's Red-Eye caused white splotches in my pictures. I'll take underperforming on Red-Eye over white splotches anyday.

We are talking about the same camera. The red-eye removal feature that is usually built into many, if not all cameras, to review the pictures on the camera is not in this one. The only way to remove the red-eye is with your photo program after you download your pictures into your computer. I did not know this when I purchased the camera. Panasonic has been no help, at all, about this problem and can't explain why this feature was eliminated. Could have been a mistake they do not want to own up too.

Did you buy the LZ7? Does it really eliminate red eyes for blue-eyed people in photos?

You will not see a "flash" like you have with a normal camera.....you will be able to see the flash light up with a bright red face......maybe if you elevate it above normal eye level you will avoid them seeing it.

I use this flash on my Nikon D3100. So far I have only used it with the 4 AA batteries. I have not used it for any long shoots but I have used it for many short ones, and as of yet, (over a year) have only had to change the batteries once. I feel it was an excellent buy for minimal cost.

I never got mine to work. I can honestly say you are better investing in a basic flash for 200.00 It will make a big difference in the long run. I was going to use it on a rebel t1i

Absolutely and this is what you want the diffuser to do. You will get great photos without the harsh flash and possibly all the red eye. I also shine my flash away from my subjects when doing portraits so that is done on purpose for the "right" lighting. It will work great. You will see a huge difference.

You'll find if you shut off the features that suck power, batteries will last longer. Only use flash if needed, keep it closed, and it won't waste power charging up. Turn off the focus assist and anti red-eye features that beam the red light at the subject, and batteries will be much more forgiving.

This is a great flash. I use it all the time. With regards to your question it flashes three times when red eye is on however it does not when delayed or advanced flash is used.

I have. It works fine but due to the senor size, the field of view is less. Unlike Canon lens, there is no red dot on the Rokinon so you need to be careful. I have used several different Rokinon lens and they all work on the Metabones speed booster.

Use ours for the same reason. Have never seen the flash go off and ours is near our front door! Doesn't miss a thing. The camera needs very little light to focus..excellent.

1. re focal length conversion--no. 2. re light loss--I have not noted any--but, frankly, I am usually using any / all of my adapter with a fixed f-stop setting or with AE.

Probably the biggest negative about this camera is the lack of a built in flash. I bought a flash unit to go with it. It works quite well with no red eye yet.

Interesting question...especially why you'd want a red light...hmmm?:) Seriously though...I'm examining it right now and it seems it would be difficult to do without cracking the plastic casing that surrounds the lens. IMHO it wouldn't work but...Hope that helps:)

I am no camera expert by any means, but at times the flash is too powerful, and the low light pictures are better. I generally use Picasa to edit, and it will brighten the pictures and they look good. In extreme low light with the flash off, they are pretty grainy and Picasa cannot help them. I have only printed 4 x 6 images though, and they are fantastic the majority of times. Hope this helps!

I don't believe that is what Canon means by low light. I have a HF R100 and it does not see my IR light at all.

Check your red-eye setting. The camera will double flash to prevent red-eye or it can be set to eliminate it by touching up the picture, in camera. If you set the camera to check for and remove red-eye, you will not get the double flash.
