A camera flash, uh-oh!
A camera flash is fired directly into a person’s face, what is the end result? The light can reflect back from the subject’s retina, giving a red spot in the centre of the eye. Today, the majority of the cameras, mobile phones and tablets have a red-eye function that can avoid this.
