Hello - My pictures keep getting Red eye when using the flash…. I set the Red eye setting but I can’t seem to get rid of the red eyes when using the flash? Can anyone help me out!
The second question is that the pictures at 5M high quality setting seems to have very bright colour for example the Red colours seem so deep red & how do you take off the backlight setting?

It is the angle the flash and lens create that has a lot to do with redeye.
It boils down to the less zoom you use the larger the angle and the less chance of redeye.
This article explains it better than me.

I do not know why the 5mp setting would cause what you describe or why the backlighting would either.
But use P mode to eliminate the backlighting...Maybe there is another way but I am not aware of it.

Red eye can be eliminated by: getting closer to your subject, changing the shooting angle instead of having the subject eyes lined up with the center of the lens, using software. The red eye flash does not work on most under 30 subjects or people with light color eyes. The quick light pulse is done to close down the iris; most young peoples reaction time are too quick.
I have a FZ30 by 3 weeks ...the Red eye Flash mode is working fine for me...specially when I'm doing portraits and the subjects have blue eyes (classic setup when my old point&shoot HP935 5Mpx show me the red eyes). I'm really happy how FZ30 is handle this issue using the build-in flash . If you really want to get off the "red eye" effect the best is to use an external flash - hot shoe is there - or just don't use the flash ( need good ambient or external light ).
