To help in any definitive way, we need to know the make and model of
the digicam, and whether or not it has a user controlled red-eye reduction.
As Andy previously mentioned, red-eye reduction in the form of
pre-flash is the likely culprit by triggering the Vivitar prior to
the main exposure.
If not that, the make and model may lead to the correct solution.

Guys,
I got the genius idea of using a slave strobe (Vivitar 283) with my
small P&S digicams to deal with the red-eye problem. Can't figure out
why it didn't work at all. Not on manual or auto. Of course there is no
provision for a sync cord on these little cams like on a DSLR. The
camera strobe gives the correct exposure but with the slave it
underexposes.
Any help?
