What is a Pre-flash?
Most digital cameras have one or more pre-flashes to assist in
autofocus/auto-exposure setting of the camera. The Pre-Flashes
occur before the camera’s primary flash fires. The Pre-Flash
Setting switch tells the external flash how many pre-flashes to
ignore before firing. For example, if your digital camera has 2
pre-flashes, you would set the Pre-Flash Setting switch to 2. The
external flash will now ignore the two pre-flashes and fire on the
third primary flash. SeaLife cameras do not have a pre-flash when
the camera is in External Flash mode. More information on how
to make the correct pre-flash setting for your non-SeaLife cameras
will be described later in this manual.
