Casio Exilim EX-ZR500 User Manual page 48

IMPORTANT!
• Foreign matter on the flash window can react with the light of the flash, producing
some smoke and abnormal odor. Though this does not indicate malfunction, oil
from your fingers and other foreign matter when left on the flash window can
become difficult to clean off later. Because of this, you should make it a regular
habit to wipe the window clean regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
NOTE
• Take care so your fingers and the strap do not block the flash.
• The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is too far away or too
close.
• Flash charging time (page 196) depends on operating conditions (battery
condition, ambient temperature, etc.).
• Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a slow shutter speed,
which can cause image blur due to camera movement. Under such conditions,
secure the camera with a tripod, etc.
• With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in accordance with
exposure. It does not fire in areas where lighting is bright.
• The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or some other light source
can cause abnormal image colors.
• Select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash
photography is prohibited.
• The flash > (Auto Flash) and ¥ (Red Eye Reduction) flash modes are not
supported while A, S, or M is selected for the recording mode. If you want the flash
to fire, select < (Flash On) as the flash mode.
