The flash problem makes the cats seem out of focus because of the refraction caused by their hair [as well as the “green eye”]. It has to be the preset that is triggering it, and there is no way of changing it. I would have turned the flash off, giving the prevailing conditions, if I had thought it might go off. The ferals, unless they’re asleep or eating, rarely stay in one place for long. I have terabytes devoted to blurry cats that were going to be great shots seconds before the shutter finally worked.
