Red-eye

An effect that is frequently brought on by the built-in flash of a camera. The subject's eyes appear to have a vibrant shade of red because the flash of light causes the retina to reflect back into view. Either in-camera or later, during post-processing, adjustments can be made to lessen or correct it.
