Abstract
Occurrence of red eye at the time of flash photography can be prevented with a high probability according to tendency of red-eye occurrence caused by various factors and according to a difference of the tendency among people. A memory in a red-eye prevention device stores reference data for red-eye prevention defining photography conditions for each person. An identification unit identifies a person subjected to flash photography by a camera. In the case where the identification unit cannot identify the person, a registration unit registers an additional person and initial photography conditions with the memory as a part of the reference data. The identification unit identifies the person as the additional person, and a photography condition selection unit selects actual photography conditions for red-eye prevention for flash photography by the camera of the person identified by the identification unit, based on the reference data in the memory.
