The image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting?
The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. Shoot within the effective flash
range of approximately 30 cm - 4.0 m (12 in. - 13 ft.) at maximum wide angle,
and approximately 30 cm - 2.0 m (12 in. - 6.6 ft.) at maximum telephoto.
The indicator blinks yellow and the camera beeps once when the shutter
button is pressed halfway?
When the camera is at maximum wide angle, move about 3 cm (1.2 in.) or more
away from your subject and shoot. Move about 30 cm (12 in.) or more away
when the camera is at maximum telephoto.
The lamp lights when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may light when shooting in
clark areas.
