How To Prevent The Red Eye Effect On Digital Cameras

How do I prevent getting the "red-eye" effect?

How many of you have gotten pictures with the "red-eye", the "devil-eye" look? The red eye is caused by the light bouncing off the back of the eyeball and you actually get to see inside the eye. How do you get "red-eye"? By having a small flash right close to the lens. So every compact camera whether it's film or digital or any camera with a built in flash gives great or enhanced "red-eye". The way you get rid of the "red-eye" is by turning on the anti "red-eye" mode on your camera which causes the camera to delay. So I press the button and some seconds later the picture actually happens after I've shined this bright obnoxious light into your eyes. The better way to get rid of the "red-eye" is to add a big flash to the top of your camera. So that's why all the "SLR" cameras today offer a big flash that you can add on and you'll eliminate eighty to ninety percent of the "red-eye" or add a big flash to any of your cameras. That's how you get rid of "red-eye".
