Flash range - auto-recording mode
The camera will automatically control the flash output. For well-exposed images, the subject must be
within the flash range. Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens'
wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position.

Flash signals
The orange flash lamp next to the viewfinder indicates the status of the flash. When the lamp blinks
quickly, the flash is charging and the shutter will not release. The lamp glows steadily when the flash
is charged and ready to fire.
Camera-shake warning
If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be safely hand held, the camera-
shake warning will appear on the LCD monitor and the orange flash lamp will blink slowly. Camera
shake is slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced at the telephoto posi-
tion of the lens than at the wide-angle. Although the warning appears, the shutter can still be
released. If the warning appears, the following steps can be taken:
• Place the camera on a tripod.
• Use the built-in flash.
• Zoom the lens towards the wide-angle position until the warning
disappears.
