I took this pic of some of our kitties last night (with 20 to choose from, I am not apt to run out of subjects soon, LOL), in macro mode with the default standard light setting, with an incandescent table lamp on just behind and above them, and as you can see, some of the eyes turned out strange. How can I avoid this? *Can* I avoid this? Turn out the lamp? Try a different light mode? (my options are "red-eye reduction", "fill-in", "night scene" and the default "auto flash") A different white balance - whatever the heck that is? (options being "default", "clear sky", "cloudy sky", "incandescent lighting" and "fluorescent lighting"). What leaps immediately to mind is maybe a combination of "red eye reduction" and "incandescent lighting" - am I maybe somewhat kinda near being on the right track here!? :-P I've never had a camera with multiple setting options and I'm not sure what half of them are, let alone what they do and how to use them, so thanks for bearing with me! :-)
