Automatic red-eye removal eliminates a very common problem.
Red-eye is an effect that occurs when light shines into your subject's eyes and reflects back into the camera's sensor.
Some digital cameras will remove red eye automatically anytime it's detected. Others allow you to remove red-eye manually in-camera after a photo is captured. Either way, it's a feature that many of us find ourselves needing often and any camera you buy should have it.

and how you can avoid them in the first place.
Simple in-camera editing like cropping can help you get the photo you really want.
This feature will allow you to manually enlarge a portion of any photo you've taken and save a copy of
that cropped area as a new image (without erasing the original). This helps you make an ordinary snapshot
into a dramatic portrait.
Holding your camera steady can be harder than you think. Image stabilization helps.
Also called "anti-shake," this popular feature helps you take a sharp photo when your camera is moving.
This is especially useful when you zoom in on a subject. As you magnify your subject, you also increase
the chance you'll blur your photo due to camera movement.
The effectiveness of image stabilization varies greatly among camera manufacturers. Best to try it out
for yourself if you have the opportunity.
