Under normal operating conditions the re-charging time for
the fl ash is usually within 4 seconds. If the battery is weak, the
charging time will be longer.

Take photographs within the fl ash range.
The image quality is not guaranteed if the subject is too close
or highly refl ective.
When taking an image in poorly lit conditions with the fl ash,
there may be a white speck in the captured image. The speck
is caused by the the fl ash light refl ecting off atmospheric dust.
