Canon POWERSHOT A60 User Manual page 73

When shooting with a high ISO sensitivity and using the
flash, there is more of a chance of overexposure the
closer you are to the subject.
• Some settings are not available with certain Shooting
modes. Please refer to Functions Available in Each
Shooting Mode (p. 224).
• The flash fires twice. A pre-flash will fire and will be
followed by the main flash.The pre-flash is used by the
camera to obtain the subject's exposure data so that the
main flash can be set to the optimal intensity for the
shot.
• The fastest shutter speed for flash synchronization is 1/
500 second. The camera automatically resets the
shutter speed to 1/500 second if a faster speed is
selected.
• The flash fires with automatic adjustments when
shooting in modes other than the M mode. When
shooting in M mode, the flash fires with the manually
set adjustments.
• In M mode, the [Flash Output] option can be changed
(p. 112).
• Shots cannot be taken while the flash is charging.
• The flash may take up to approximately 10 seconds to
charge in some cases. Actual times will vary according
to usage and the battery charge.
• The flash setting is saved when the camera is turned off
in the P, Tv, Av and M Shooting modes.
