First make sure that you are using the red-eye flash mode when taking the picture. Note that some people have unusually large pupils and will always exhibit red-eye when captured with the flash. During playback you can select the people pictures that have ared-eye problemand use the Red-eye Removal option from the menu. And there are a lot of software viewers and editors that offer a red-eye removal tool.

The real problem is that all of these compact cameras have no choice but to put the flash too closeto the lens - there is nowhere else to put it. Even with mid-size to large cameras, it is not desirable to use on-camera flash, this is why all the pros you see have the flash off to the side and well above the camera on a bracket.
