• Do not look directly at the flash at
close range when it is activated.
Do not bring the flash too close to
•
objects or close the flash while it
is activated. The objects may be
discolored by its heat or lighting.
While the flash is charged, the LCD
•
monitor turns off and you cannot take
pictures. The status indicator lights up.
If the remaining battery power is low,
the screen may be turned off for a
longer period of time.
• 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 icon blinks, the flash is
being charged and you cannot take a
picture even when you press the shutter
button fully.
• The white balance may not be properly
adjusted if the photo flash is insufficient.
• When the shutter speed is fast, the flash
effect may not be sufficient.
• When you repeat taking a picture,
recording may be disabled even if the
flash is activated. 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.
• In burst mode or auto bracket mode, you
cannot use the flash.
