When recording with the flash, white saturation can occur if the subject is too close. If [Highlight] of

minus direction and record the pictures again.
•
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 Forced ON/
Red-Eye Reduction etc. It causes a malfunction.
•
Recording a subject from too close, or without sufficient flash will not provide the appropriate level of
exposure, and may result in a picture that is too white or dark.
•
You must wait a moment to take the next picture while the flash icon is blinking RED indicating the
flash is charging.
•
If recording a subject without sufficient flash, the White Balance may not be properly adjusted.
•
When you use certain lenses, light from the flash may be blocked or fail to cover the lens
field of view, causing dark areas to appear in the resulting pictures.
•
When taking pictures with flash with the lens hood attached, the lower portion of the photo may turn
dark and the control of the flash may be disabled because the photo flash may be obscured by the
lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.
•
It may take time to charge the Flash if you repeatedly take pictures. 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 you attach an external flash, it takes priority over the built-in flash. Refer to
external flash.
