FLASH LAMP / FLASH RANGE

Flash Lamp
• When the orange flash lamp blinks rapidly, the flash is charging. Wait
until it glows steadily then take the picture.
• The flash takes approximately six seconds to charge.
• When the orange flash lamp blinks slowly, your scene is too dark for a
hand-held picture. Use the flash, or place your camera on a tripod.
