ABSTRACT:
A digital camera that compensates a red eye phenomenon during photography is provided. The digital camera includes a charge coupled device (CCD), a face detection circuit, a flash mode controller, and a flash. When the flash preliminarily emits light, the face detection circuit detects an eye color of a person from an image captured by the CCD. The flash mode controller preliminarily flashes the flash before a main photographing is performed, and may subsequently actuate the flash for a main flashing based on a photographing result of the CCD, when the eye color detected by the face detection circuit is within a predetermined scope, holds the main flashing ready while a predetermined red eye reduction standby time passes after the flash preliminarily emits light.
