Thanks. I'll have to try that. I do have a couple of red-eye snap
shots made with the A1 and built-in flash over Thanksgiving.
Fortunately, not too many. Noticed the red-eye and switched to a Sunpak
422 in auto mode. MUCH better results as well as getting rid of the
red-eye. The Sunpak seems to do pretty well in auto and only needs an
occasional tweak on the aperture.
