SZ7 Double Flash

I have tried the SZ1/SZ7 and didnt like the fact that the flash always fires twice when taking a shot (bit like a red-eye reduction mode even though the camera was not in that mode).

Anybody know if this mode can be changed so it only fires a single flash?

I also assume the SZ1 and SZ7 have the same flash modes and work the same way.

Thannk in advance
