Is there a 35mm film that does NOT cause red eye?

Question

I've used Fuji and Kodak and both seem to cause red eye.

Answer 1

It is not the film itself that causes the red eye but the flash and the blood vessels on the retina. So to avoid this you can a red eye reducing pre-flash if your camera has that. The best solution however is to move the flash away from the camera. So when shopping for a camera the one that has the flash farther from the axis of the lens will have less chance of producing red eye. I should have said earlier is that the reason the retina is illuminated by the flash is because the pupil is so dilated which happens when its dark. Brighter places reduce the chances of red eye as well. So there is no film that does not cause (or prevents) red-eye.

Answer 2

There is no telation with a film and red eye. Red eye is seen while you photograph in darker places with flash. Take daylight pics with or without flash.If there is sufficient light to make smaller the retina, then there won't be any redeye.Try to reflect your flash to some where or take snaps without flash is the solution.

Answer 3

No... red eye is produced by the flash being parallel with the eyes retina and has nothing to do with the film... the best solution is use off camera flash or no flash at all.

Answer 4

The film isn't the problem - well it is, you are using color film, to use a film without red eye, you will need to shoot black and white.

The problem is that your flash is to close to the lens. To eliminate red eye, you will need to move the flash "off camera". There are any number of flash brackets that you can use. They attach to the bottom of the camera and off-set the flash enough that red-eye is all but eliminated. You can also "bounce" the flash off of the celling or off any white object - bounced lighting will rarely produce red-eye.

Answer 5

You could get a different camera, many of which have a pre-flash to eliminate red eye, or if you are using a digital camera, download a photo editing program like Picasa 2 (which is free from google), which will eliminate red eye by your editing of the photo.
