The flash lamp will fire briefly five times (pre-flash),
then fire the sixth time for taking your picture.

About red-eye
When a person is photographed with flash in dim
light, the eyes will sometimes turn out red. This is
because the light from the flash lamp is reflected
back into the lens from the back (retina) of the
person’s eyes.
In addition to using the red-eye reduction mode,
observance of the following is effective in reducing
red-eye.
q
Have the person being photographed look
directly at the camera lens.
w
Take pictures by approaching as close as
possible to the subject.
