[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 449871, member: 12496"] [b]Re: Success!![/b] Frankly, most of them just don't know how to turn the flash off. :) Red eye is caused by only a tiny distance between flash and lens, so that the flash reflects directly back from inside the eye. An external hot shoe flash is taller, which greater angle of separation helps tremendously to mostly prevent red eye, most of the time. Bounce flash is best of all, for that and other reasons. That is very surprising to hear about 24mm. I rarely use the internal flash, other than as a commander. But I don't have any issue with the internal flash at 24mm though, it is wide enough here.
