setting.
• In Intelligent Auto Mode, shutter speed changes depending on the identified scene.
•
In Scene Mode, the shutter speeds will differ from those described above.
Note
•
When recording with the flash, white saturation can occur if the subject is too close. If [Highlight] of
the [Setup] menu is set to [ON], regions of white saturation will blink black and white when you play
back or use Auto Review. In this case, we recommend that you adjust [Flash Adjust.]
minus direction and record the pictures again.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Recording a subject from too close, or without sufficient flash will not provide the appropriate level of
exposure, and may result in a picture that is too white or dark.
•
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.
•
If recording a subject without sufficient flash, the White Balance may not be properly adjusted.
•
The flash effect may not be sufficient when shutter speed is fast.
•
It may take time to charge the flash if you repeat taking a picture. 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.

Flash is fixed to [Œ] when the [Conversion]
