Red-eye reduction
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.
