lower flash effect may not be visible.

This method controls the lighting of the flash, factoring in the 
focus distance information and light metering data from the 
pre-flash. This method enables an accurate flash 
compensation with virtually no effect from the reflection off 
the subject.

This method controls the amount of flash light depending on 
the data only from pre-flash light metering. This method is 
susceptible to the reflection off the subject.
