My Mode (see page 55).
NOTE: The flash is not available in Panorama, Sunset,

Document, or Museum shooting modes, with the Burst

setting, nor is it available while recording video clips.

of the red-eye phenomenon, before the camera uses the main

flash. It will take longer to take a picture using red-eye

reduction, because the shutter is delayed for the additional

flashes. Therefore, make sure your subjects wait for the

additional

flashes.
