Setting the pre-flash mode
Pre flash is an option used to reduce the
occurrence of red-eye in pictures. When
pre-flash is activated, there are a series
of two flashes; an initial flash to offset
red eye, and a second flash used for the
picture.
Note: In order for Pre Flash to work, the camera must be
set to AUTO flash or FLASH ON mode.
