Wait, do digital cameras not do the red eye effect? Now that I think about it, I don't think I've seen a photo with red eye in it in a long time, but I had always assumed that was a consequence of the camera flash, not the film...
Edit: TIL that camera redeye does come from the flash, but it hasn't been much of a thing these days because today's phones/cameras adjust the flash timing to compensate. Thanks for the replies!
I distinctly remember early Facebook and its predecessors being filled with red-eye pictures
Now that you mention it, I think you might be right... My memory's not the best lol. From the other replies, it seems that the rarity of redeye these days comes from the timing of modern cameras' flash, not whether or not it uses film.
