I find when I take pictures in the evening the pictures have red eyes.

This does not happen in the daytime. I do use the red eye reduction, the setting is on automatic flash. The camera is w300 and even when i try and correct the red eye it does not work. Help!

Well, there isn't much you can do other than perhaps tape some opaque paper over the flash to diffuse it. YOu could also shoot slight over axis from your subject.

I suggest downloading the free software Picasa3 from Google. It has a function to reduce/eliminate red-eye after you download your images to the computer. Works well in most cases.

The cause of red-eye is the small distance from the center of the lens to the center of the flash unit. This allows the light to hit the back of the subject's retina and reflect the red from the blood vessels onto the "film". The pre-flash is supposed to reduce the size of the subject's pupil in order to reduce this reflection on the retina.
