•
When the flash is activated, the shutter speed cannot be set to faster than 1/160th of a second.
•
In Intelligent Auto Mode, shutter speed changes depending on the identified scene.
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.
•
When you take a picture beyond the available flash range, 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 (vignetting effect) 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 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.
•
When you attach an external flash, it takes priority over the built-in flash. Refer to P170 for the
external flash.
Applicable modes:
Adjust the flash output if the recorded pictures are too bright or too dark.
