(AUTO)
The flash fires automatically as required by the
shooting conditions. When it fires, the flash fires
twice and the shot is taken when the flash fires
the second time. Used for shots or people or
animals where you want to reduce the red-eye
effect (see “Glossary” p.198). Works best
when the subject is looking directly at the
camera and is relatively close.
