snakeyes:

The A40's flash operates in either Auto, Red-Eye Reduction Auto, Forced, Suppressed, Red-Eye Reduction Forced, or Slow Synchro modes.

I got that info from:
http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/A40/A40A.HTM

When you select the flash type, odds are you will get an "eye" icon next to or incorporated with the flash icon when you selecte red-eye reduction.

Hope that helps.
