Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ38 Operating Instructions Manual page 69

Note
•
Do not bring the flash too close to objects or close the flash while it is activated. The
objects may be discoloured by its heat or lighting.
•
Do not close the flash soon after the flash is activated prior to taking pictures due to AUTO/
Red-eye reduction etc. It causes a malfunction.
•
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.
•
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.
•
The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for the subject.
•
The flash effect may not be sufficient when using [FLASH BURST]
when shutter speed is fast.
•
When taking a picture with the flash, we recommend removing the lens hood. In some
cases it may not allow the scene to be illuminated properly.
•
It may take time to charge the flash if you repeat taking a picture. 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.
•
Flash is fixed to [Œ] when the [CONVERSION]
