Mooron, red eye occurs on some shots with EVERY camera with a built in
flash.

BULL****..... not when you know how to take a photo!


Sorry, Mooron. No photographer using a camera mounted flash has ever succeeded
in beating red-eye all of the time. Mooron, let me help you...read below:

Photographic Basics-Red Eye

While these techniques may reduce the chances for red-eye, it's more that
likely that it will still occur on occasion.

1. Try to put distance between the camera's lens and flash to reduce red-eye.
If possible, hold the flash an arm's length from the camera or point the flash
toward a white surface, such as a wall, so the flash does not flood the
subject's eyes.

2. If the flash is immobile, reduce the size of the subject's pupils by
turning on bright lights or by shining a bright light briefly in the person's
eyes prior to taking the picture.

3. Use the red-eye reduction feature available on many cameras. This feature
constricts the pupils with a series of low-level flashes prior to taking the
picture.

4. Put tissue paper or a white filter over the flash to diffuse its
brightness. The tissue paper shouldn't come into direct contact with the hot
flashbulb. Some camera shops sell flash diffusers.

Mooron, perhaps you tell the photographic community how to avoid red-eye full
time with a built in flash?
We're all waiting!
