When you use certain lenses, light from the flash may be
blocked or fail to cover the lens field of view, causing dark
areas to appear in the resulting pictures.
The distance at which light from the flash is blocked by lens, and
the distance to which light from the flash is delivered vary
depending on the lens used.

take the next picture while the flash icon is blinking red indicating the flash is charging. Take a
picture after the access indication disappears.
