It was so bad that the PC software that came with the camera often had a red eye removal feature. I remember being fascinated when I figured out you could use it on things other than eyes and it just took the red out of anything.
You had to select the eyes. The software I remember had a little square box that popped up, and you moved it over the eyes and clicked to remove the red eye.
My oldest nephew was born in 2003 and I was still having to manually remove red eye using Paintshop Pro 7 from my mum’s digital photos of him when was about 6 or 7.
Even the digitals you had in the 00’s didn’t have very good red eye correction (if any at all)
I distinctly remember the first digicams to be worse than analogue in this regard

Did it do some form of automatic eye detection or did you have to manually select the eyes?
