•
If you bring the flash too close to an object, the object may be distorted or discoloured by the
heat or lighting from the flash.
•
When you take a picture beyond the available flash range, the exposure may not be adjusted
properly and the picture may become bright 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.
•
When you take a picture beyond the available flash range, the White Balance may not be
properly adjusted.
•
The flash effect may not be sufficient when using [Flash Burst] in Scene Mode or when shutter
speed is fast.
•
It may take time to charge the flash if you are taking pictures in quick succession. Take a
picture after the access indication disappears.
•
The Red-Eye Reduction effect differs between people. Also, if the subject is far away from the
camera or was not looking at the first flash, the effect may not be as evident.
