Red-Eye Reducing Flash
In the red-eye reducing mode, before the actual flash is emitted, 10 short
preliminary flashes are fired in rapid sequence. These short flashes con-
tract the subject's pupils and, hence, reduce the incidence of red eyes

Fill-In Flash

or for taking pictures with backlighting or under artificial lighting from fluo-
rescent lamps, etc.
