change the flash setting in Still modes.

flashes twice: once to set the exposure and once to take the picture.
When the picture is taken with Red-eye flash selected, the camera
flashes three times: once to set the exposure, once to reduce red-eye,
and once to take the picture.
Flash setting
Flash/Status button
Auto—flash fires when the lighting
conditions require it.
Fill—flash fires every time you take a
picture, regardless of the lighting
conditions. Use when the subject is in
shadow or is "backlit" (when the sun is
behind the subject).
Red-eye—flash fires so the subject’s
eyes become accustomed to the flash,
then fires again when the picture is
taken.
Off—flash never fires.
