(Red-eye Reduction) Mode
Pre-flash is performed before the main flash to reduce the red-eye; an effect caused by light reflected
from the retina. Use in low-light conditions when photographing people or animals. The pre-flashes
contract the pupils of the subject's eyes.
Note: The red-eye reduction may have little effect if the subject is not directly facing the pre-flash or
main flash, or when there is some distance between the camera and the subject.

Manual Recording mode, the increments can be set to 0.3, 0.5 or 1.0. (page 32)
