Red eye is caused by having the flash be located too close to the lens. The light bounces off of the retina of your subject and back to the lens. A camera with an external flash separates the flash and the lens by 6 inches or more. That makes the angle too great for light to flash off the retina and back in to the lens.
Why I'm telling you this is because no fix will remove the red eye as you take the photo.
There are two options.
1. Remove the red eye with an app after the fact like PicSay.
2. Use a camera app that has "red eye reduction". This fires a "pre-flash" which makes the subject's iris close a bit so they have tiny pupils which makes it more difficult for light to go in to the eye, reflect off of the retina and back out of the small iris to the camera lens. This usually only minimizes the red eye and still need to perform option 1.

When taking pictures in a dark environment, the camera flash on my EVO darn near blinds whoever I'm taking pictures of, resulting in a bunch of "I just smelled sh*t" faces. Anybody have any idea on how to maybe dim the flash without turning it off altogether?
I would really like to see an answert to this...and also to an issue with the flash that I have experienced. It seems that, with no consistency or reason that I can discern, the flash goes "blue" and results in a picture with an overall blue tint. Any ideas?
most LED flashes do it, i just deal with it
I think a better idea is to have the flash on at a low level so your subject knows where to look, and then the moment you click the flash goes 100%. My old touch pro did that but I don't know why EVO will not?
The light meter on this phone is slow, and it takes a while for the exposure to adjust to the very bright LED lighting. I Also think the WB is off on a lot of pictures as well. Lets hope HTC and Sprint fixes this because the camera and camcorder could be a LOT better than they are.
it would be nice if we could turn off one of the leds as an option which would help with close nite time pictures
So i just noticed this over the holiday weekend. Took about 30 photos all indoor shots some with flash & some without. Noticed on some of the pictures yellowish vertical lines spaced evenly apart throughout the photo. Tried to clean the lens thinking it was dirty. I then noticed the pattern on the flash cover. Began to test this further by taking a picture against a white backround using the flash and sure enough, those yellowish lines were there. Is there something behind the battery cover that I'm supposed to peel off? Can any other owners of the venue pro weigh in on this???
PS I only noticed the vertical lines caused by the flash with iso set on auto/low. When set to 800, they dissappear.

If it's dark enough for the flash to even come on, all I get is a blurry picture anyway, so NO I don't see any yellow lines. All I see is a blur.

The yellow lines were noticed by my brother and I on our original Venue Pros, and we thought it was a software issue. I can confirm that this issue still exists.

take off the back cover and do the same testing. If the problem persist, its the OS or flash itself.
if the problem is completly gone, your issue is the back cover.

yeah I've already tried this... Problem only occurs with the cover on.. I believe its due to the pattern that is imprinted on the flash cover..

This may or may not be related, but I see some horizontal bands of alternating brightness and darkness when I set the ISO to 800. This is with the cover off too. With the ISO still set to 800, I also see some weird artifacts of pure whiteness that look like some Photoshop effect (like the region was dumped with white using the paint bucket tool). This appears in real-time on the on-screen viewfinder as well as in the pictures.
Hi All,
Anyone having issue with a green tint in the centre taken with the camera?
Especially when taking snapshots of paper document. Making the handyscan app unuseable.
Well, at least you're getting a green tint, some users have gotten pink, or blue tints...
It is typical with phone cameras...even the iPhone gets a green/pink tint when taking close-up of documents...
However, a simple post processing correction (even the automated fixes in Photoshop) get rid of it pretty easily.
Handyscan is another useful app for taking pics of documents, and it fixes those tinting issues at the centre of the image.
I always get a pink circle in the middle of my pics.
The camera is the thing that ruins my experience with my LG Optimus 7, it's so awfuly bad. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one having issues...
Once in a while I get a green tint, but it`s very rare. I actually find the camera to be quite good. I can take very clear images.
I cleaned the lens with 99% rubbing alcohol, and I get noticeably less tint now...especially no more pink halo at the centre...I don't recommend others doing this though, and it might ruin the plastic parts if you aren't careful, and you need lint-free micro fiber Q-tips...
In this day and age I would assume that red eye removal would be an industry standard, but all my moto photos taken with flash end up with people with red eyes. I went through the camera settings and I couldn't find any thing. Is there a red eye removal setting that I couldn't find?

Custom ROM :AKOP
In built camera has that.
Don't know about Moto stock camera is having that feature
Same here no red eye reduction
This is my second week with this unit and it's awesome so far! Took some time for the battery life to get up to par, but got that sorted out and now it's a beast!...like the title suggests though, I do have a question about the ultra wide camera. Can someone try going into a dark room, covering the camera lens when the ultra wide camera is activated, and see if you notice light bleed on the view finder when in 3:4 aspect ratio and no filter on? I notice slight light leakage onto the screen if you look around the edges of the viewfinder. You don't have to cover the lens because it is noticeable in really low indoor light conditions or if the room is extremely dark. The other two lens under the same conditions seem fine. It's not a deal breaker or anything, nor will I return the phone, just wondering if anyone else notice. It's very slight. In decent to good light conditions, you don't notice it at all. And I will say that it doesn't show on pics at all. This is just my OCD kicking in lol. The cameras are actually the best I've used on a phone!
I decided to take a screen shot. Take a look at the upper left hand side. Do you see the light leak? With the other camera lens, the viewfinder is pitch black to match the pitch black scene. If indoors and the light conditions are bad, you'll see the distortion on the viewfinder, but the pic will turn out perfect. Only if you do motion picture do you see it a bit. Anyone have this or an explanation? Definitely not enough for me to return the device, but just wondering if it's normal? Zoom into the photo I attached and you'll see it at the top left.
No one can quickly try this and confirm?
Do you have a camera protector applied?

No, no protector applied. When I called Samsung, the rep told me it's normal and her unit does the same. I still don't know. But if you tested in a dark room and you don't get it, that means not every unit has it.
