• The flash will fire if the indicator beside the
viewfinder lights orange when the shutter
button is pressed halfway. (Does not fire in
~.)
• Shooting procedures are the same as for the
Iti
Auto Mode (p. 31).
• If the flash is used in macro mode, the
light may not be controlled correctly. In
this case, set a higher ISO sensitivity or
use other light sources instead of using
the flash.

• 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.
• Please note that a slow shutter speed
will be selected in dark places or when
the flash is set to off. Be careful to avoid
camera shake under these conditions.
Shooting in
r!1
Mode
Be careful to hold the camera still to
avoid camera shake.
Shooting in [ii, ~, ~,
m
or ~ Mode
Fix the camera to a tripod since the
shutter speed will be slower than in the
r!1
mode. If an image is dark in
r!1
mode, reshooting in [iI mode will
make it brighter.
• The flash may take approximately 10
seconds to charge. The LCD monitor, if
it is on, will go off after the indicator
blinks orange while recharging. The
LCD monitor will come back on after the
indicator lights a steady orange when
recharging is completed. Recharging
time may vary according to shooting
conditions and battery charge levels.
