"Red-eye-reduction function" or "fill-flash with red-eye reduction (pre-flash)"
"pre-flash" is correct but there can be two reasons for the pre-flash:
1. Reduce red eyes caused by flash refection from the subject's retinas.
2. Test the flash reflectivity of the subject in conjunction with spot metering on the subject before the real photo is actually taken.
Your text appears to be referring only to the first reason, so it would be better to write:
1. "fill-flash with red-eye reduction (pre-flash)", as Minolta does in the reference below, or
2. "Flash with red-eye reduction function", as Pentax does in the reference below.
