If a subject or background is dark, the camera flash
will work automatically and will reduce the red-eye

The flash fires regardless of available light.
The intensity of the flash will be controlled,

white speck in the captured image. The speck is caused by the reflecting of
the flash light from the atmospheric dust. It is not camera malfunction.
