• The available flash range is an
approximation.
• Refer to P78 for the ISO sensitivity.
• Refer to P39, 86 for the focus range.
• If the distance between the camera and
the subject is less than 2.0 m (6.6 feet)
when taking a picture with the flash, the
photo flash will be obscured by the lens
and one part of the screen will become
dark. Check the distance between the
camera and the subject when taking a
picture.
• To avoid picture noise, we recommend
reducing the ISO sensitivity before taking
pictures. (P78)

• Do not carry the camera using the opened
built-in flash.
• Do not close the flash soon after it is
activated prior to taking pictures due to
Auto/Red-eye reduction etc. It causes a
malfunction.
• If you press the shutter button halfway
when the flash is activated, the flash icon
on the LCD monitor turns red.
• When you take a picture beyond the
available flash range, the exposure may
not be adjusted properly and the picture
may become bright or dark.
• The white balance may not be properly
adjusted if the flash level is insufficient.
(P75)
• If you repeat taking a picture, it may not
actually be taken even if the flash is
activated. Take a picture after the access
indication disappears.
• The red-eye reduction effect differs
between people. Also, if the subject was
far away from the camera or was not
looking at the first flash, the effect may not
be evident.
• When the flash is being charged, the flash
icon blinks red, and you cannot take a
picture even when you press the shutter
button fully.
• When taking pictures in burst mode or
auto bracket, only 1 picture is recorded for
every flash activated.
• If you take pictures with the flash when
the lens hood is attached, the flash
may be obscured by the lens hood.
• When you attach an external flash, it takes
priority over the built-in flash. Refer to
P125 for the external flash.
