AF-assist illumination turns on automatically when the subject is poorly lit. The
illuminator has a range of about 6.5 m (21 ft.) at the maximum wide-angle position
and about 5.5 m (18 ft.) at the maximum telephoto position. However, for some
focus areas and scene modes, AF-assist illumination does not turn on even if Auto

Pre-flash on (default setting)
The flash repeatedly fires pre-flashes at low intensity before the main flash to reduce
the red-eye effect, and it then performs the red-eye reduction process using picture
compensation.
Note that there is a slight lag between the shutter-release button being pressed and
the picture being shot.
Pre-flash off
Pre-flashes do not fire. The shutter is released immediately when the shutter-release
button is fully pressed, and the red-eye reduction process is performed using picture
compensation.
