You can also tilt the T32 bulb upward & attach white cardboard or
plastic material at an angle to bounce the light forward. This will
provide a larger light source for fuzzier shadows & move it upwards
several centimeters to avoid red-eye.
Also, using TTL with a wide aperture will reduce the flash effect &
therefore the red-eye effect. I do this ordinarily since it results in
more natural, non-flash, looking fotos. It also results in longer
battery life for the flash batteries & shorter recycling times.
