phenomenon (eyes of the subject appearing red in the picture) and then
activated again for the actual recording.

The flash is activated every time regardless of the recording conditions.
• Use this when your subject is back-lit or under fluorescent light.

shutter speed when the flash is activated so that the dark background landscape
will become bright. Simultaneously it reduces the red-eye phenomenon.
