Avoid Red Eye

SUMMARY: Be careful when taking digital camera pictures involving flash.

When taking pictures with your digital camera, do your subjects look like they have red eyes? This is common with taking pictures with the flash on. If you notice this problem, first check if your digital camera has a feature called "Flash - Remove Red Eye" - most new ones do. If yours doesn't have such a feature, don't fret. Most newer image editing programs have a "Remove Red Eye" feature. Check your documentation.

Experiment a little, learn more about your camera and image software, and you won't have to settle with glowing red eyes in your photos.
