Bright and Soft Flashlight Light

I have a Panasonic Lumix camera that I used from time to time. I always realized that when I take a picture of someone or a group of people they never blink or rub their eyes after the photo was taken. I thought it was because of the brightness or time of day. I used the camera today to take a picture of myself, and the flash went off and it didn't hurt my eyes. I tried it again and it was perfectly fine. The flashlight on the Lumix is bright but not harsh. It has a soft brightness to it. I'm enjoy the camera even more now.
