We recommend using the flash when taking
pictures indoors or outside at night. Flash
photography is very effective when taking pictures
of people in the shade or when they are back
lighted.
Do not discharge the flash close up people's
eyes (especially young children). There is a
danger of injury to the eye.
Don't point a flash toward the driver of any
vehicle and then take a picture. That could
cause an accident.
Do not take flash pictures if the surface of the
flash is dirty or if it is covered by the hand or
some object. The high temperature produced
