Avoid lighting the scene during the light-emitting inhibit zone defined below. (The field is transfered to the storage area of the CCD, so it can be read out.) Note For best performance, it is recommended that you not flash between VD and VD + 10 H (XC-ST51/ ST50/ST30)/16 H (XC-ST51CE/ST50CE/ST30CE). XC-ST51/ST51CE...
