settings in Snapshot Mode ([ ] or [ ]), refer to (→ 58).
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.
