Taking Pictures With The Self-Timer - Panasonic DMC-FZ18 Operating Instructions Manual

Advanced (Recording pictures)
• When the shutter speed is fast, the flash
effect may not be sufficient.
• It may take time to charge the flash if you
repeat taking a picture. Take a picture
after the access indication disappears.
• 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 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.
• 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.
• 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 using a tele conversion lens
(optional) or a close-up lens (optional), the
built-in flash setting is fixed to Forced OFF
[ ].
• When you set burst mode or auto bracket,
only 1 picture is recorded for every flash
activated.
