That was exactly what I did! (turn off red eye reduction). The strange part was that I have been useing this camera for quite a while with no problems and all the sudden??? I must have had my finger holding down the button on the front of the camera! I shot yesterday and every thing went just fine. Thanks for your reply and will talk more later.
The red light in front (AF-Assist) also helps the camera focus in dim lighting. It turns on and applies more light to the scene. Unfortunately, it is also a distraction to those in front of the camera, and the range is very limited. See page 286 in your manual.
