How do I eliminate red-eye in a simple digital camera that has only a single (as opposed to a multiple series) flash?

In most cases the ambient light is enough for a photo to be taken without a flash. If you are in a room where the lighting is somewhat dim start by setting the cameras ISO to a relatively high number such as ISO 800 or ISO 1600. To further improve your cameras light sensitivity, if your camera has an aperture priority mode set it to that and select a relatively large aperture such as 1.8 or 2.8. If this is not an option for you please read the following link which gives some other suggestions as to how to remove or reduce the redeye effect.
Also if you want an unorthodox method of reducing redeye, have the subject(s) of your photos stare at a light for a few seconds, this should cause their pupils to close somewhat and reduce the redeye.

Without adjusting the image digitally afterward, there are only two options:
Don't use the flash, or
Don't look at the camera.
Using a flash is passe anyway.

Turn on as many lights in the room as possible and ask your subject NOT to look right at the camera.
The next best thing to do is get rid of it with software, either at home or at the processing kiosk.
