The most effective thing I've done with my Olympus 2020 Zoom is to buy an external flash which can be used for bounce rather than direct flash. This largely eliminates red eye, and reflections of the flash itself from the pictures. The Olympus doesn't have a hot shoe, so it required an adapter for the flash which connects with a separate cable to the side of the camera. The adapter screws into the tripod mount screw on the bottom of the camera, and provides a handle on left side of the camera with a mount similar to the normal hot shoe.
