This can be set only in Intelligent Auto Mode ([ ] or [ ]). The icon changes depending on the
type of subject and brightness.
The flash is activated twice. The interval between the first and second flash is
longer when [ ], [ ] or [ ] is set. The subject should not move until the
second flash is activated.
•The red-eye reduction effect varies depending on the subject and is affected by factors
such as distance from the subject and whether the subject is looking at the camera
during the preliminary flash. In some cases, red-eye reduction may be negligible.
