Abstract

A device measures one or more of a distance from an eye of a subject, a blink of the eye, and lighting adjacent to the subject, calculates automated red eye removal settings based on one or more of the measured distance, blink, and lighting, automatically removes red eye from an image of the subject based on the calculated automated red eye removal settings, captures the image of the subject, and stores the captured image.
