Red-eye happens when light from a camera's flash illuminates the inside of the subject's eyeball. It's ugly. The built-in flash on most cameras offer a "red-eye reduction" mode that fire some sort of pre-flash in attempt to force the pupil to constrict. Here are ways to minimize the conditions that produce red-eye: Increase the distance between the flash and the camera. If that's impossible, deflect the flash toward the ceiling by taping a business card "tent" near (but not over) the flash tube. Also try moving farther away from the subject. If all else fails, the image can be corrected with image-editing software.
