flash with your fingers when holding the
camera.
≥ Store the flash when it is not being used.
≥ The unit, even when its flash has been
closed, automatically determines if the
flash is necessary by detecting the
ambient brightness. (If it determines that
the flash is necessary, the [ß] indication
flashes yellow.)
≥ When the [ß] ([ßi]/[ßj]) indication or
the [ßA] ([ßAi]/[ßAj]) indication is
displayed, the flash can be lit. If the
indication is flashing or not displayed, the
flash cannot be lit.
≥ The available range of the flash is
approx. 1 m to 2 m (3.3 feet to 6.6 feet) in
a dark place. Pictures will appear dark or
reddish when they are recorded by using
the flash at distances greater than 2 m
(6.6 feet).
