This does two things- 1) it closes those pupils enough to avoid the huge green or red "red-eye" reflection from the back of the open retina, and 2) It is less blinding and uncomfortable to the "flash-ee".
Look to see if your digital camera has a red-eye feature you can just leave on all the time.
Thanks for the info. The camera isn't mine and when my friend gave me the brief tutorial, neither of us considered "red eye" (which for Chloe is actually "yellow-eye" giving her a rather demonic look ). However, when the time comes that I can finally get my own digital camera I'll be looking for that feature.

I did manage to capture some video of grass and feet while you can hear me saying, "What does this button do?"
