When you do not use the flash

Note
The light of the flash may be blocked if the lens hood is attached and the lower part of a recorded image may be shaded.
Remove the lens hood.
When using the flash, stand 1 m or more away from the subject.
If you fire the flash before the flash unit pops up entirely, it may cause malfunction.
You cannot use the flash when recording movies. (You can use an LED light when using a flash (sold separately) with a LED
light.)
When an external flash (sold separately) is attached to the Multi Interface Shoe, the state of the external flash has priority over
the flash setting of this product. You cannot use the internal flash of this product.
Before attaching/removing an accessory such as a flash to/from the Multi Interface Shoe, turn off the product first. When
attaching an accessory, make sure that the accessory is fixed securely to the product.
Do not use the Multi Interface Shoe with a commercially available flash that applies voltage of 250 V or more or has the reverse
polarity of the camera. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
When shooting with the flash and the zoom is set to W, the shadow of the lens may appear on the screen, depending on the
shooting conditions. If this happens, shoot away from the subject or set the zoom to T and shoot with the flash again.
The light of the flash may be blocked, depending on the lens.
The corners of a recorded image may be shaded, depending on the lens.
For details on compatible accessories for the Multi Interface Shoe, visit the Sony website, or consult your Sony dealer or local
authorized Sony service facility.
