Reduce Red Eye
This occurs because the pupil of the eye opens up in dimmer lighting: you then see the flash refle
cted in the blood vessels of the retina, so it is basically the reflection of the flash on the eye.
Red-eye seems to be more evident when the subject is young and has blue eyes and digital cameras would capture it more oftem than 35mm due to the afalsh settings.
Solution(s)
Many cameras come with a red-eye reduction device that fires off preliminary little flashes – just enough to close down the iris. But these don't always make all that much difference - and they often confuse the subject!
It's more effective to arrange for your subject to be looking away from the camera lens
or ask your subject to glance at a bright light before you take the picture, but this method can result in the subject's face looking confused.
Turn on all the lights in the room to increase the light level.
Or to eliminate red-eye from pictures you have already taken, take your prints to our shop and using FDI digital technology, we will remove it for you at no extra charge.
Using Flash
Flash can be very useful, but it has very real disadvantages...
The most common mistake
when using flash is to forget its limitations: a typical built-in flash, used with a 200 ASA film, can't illuminate anything more than about 8-14 feet away (depending on the focal length being used), so all those people flashing away happily at distant objects in large buildings are just wasting their time! They'd be much better to switch the flash off and prop the camera on some convenient support. This will produce the necessary longer exposure time, the only danger being camera shake
