I have seen exactly the same effect (kid's school presentation night
about 2 weeks ago), it doesn't look at all like a "catchlight", but the same
sort of effect as "red eye" only white. I was using my Vivitar 75-205 at
the 205 end, probably 10m from the subjects, flash head about 120mm above
the lens. The effect looks almost like some sort of fluoresence from the
white of the eye. Some of the shots (where the subject was looking directly
towards the camera) showed classic "red eye".
