1. A method of imaging an object, said method comprising: generating image data using an imaging device that includes a strobe and a zoom; determining if said strobe activated during said generating image data; determining an ambient light intensity during said generating image data; determining a zoom setting during said generating image data; and determining that said strobe should activate during generation of subsequent image data if said strobe did not activate during said generating image data, said ambient light intensity was less than a preselected intensity, and said zoom setting was at least one of wider than a first preselected value, between a first value and a second value, and narrower than a second preselected value.
