Red-eye Reduction Function
When you use the Hash to take photos of people in
low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes glow red in
the photograph. This is referred to as the red-eye effect
and is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the
retina of the eye.
In ® and S modes, the red-eye reduction lamp lights
for approximately 1 second before the flash fires. This
causes the subject's pupils to contract and thereby
minimizes the risk of red-eye.

shutter operate immediately, use the
