Does a red eye reduction lamp on Canon cameras use a laser?
Filed under: canon cameras

The red light shines like a flashlight before my camera flashes. Is this lamp like a laser and does it harm the eyes?

it s not laser. its infra-red light that sensors the distance of the target to tune the lens right.

harmless light for eyes. otherwise it would have a large sticker above it "danger" or somethin.

    It’s a preflash light meant to reduce the chance of red eye. It can be turned off if it is bothersome- which it probably is to your subjects.

    It’s just an LED.
