Brad, Welcome and it's called 'red eye reduction'. The first flash gets your iris to close up so the 2nd flash can get a natural looking picture...no goulish red eyes with people in the dark! Regards, Bob S.

I like the results, but the camera does something odd. When using flash, it ALWAYS fires twice. I pointed this out to a Pentax Rep. and he tried the same model he had with him, and guess what...it does the same thing. He couldn't explain it -- can anyone here give it a shot? >> - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
