Myport Zoom mini PS / FF-10S Zoom / Shotmaster Ultra Zoom II is an updated model with the red-eye reduction feature. (note: There are two versions of Myport Zoom mini P. Those manufactured in the later period of its production had the the red-eye reduction mode, while those manufactured in the earlier period did not.
