∫ Shutter speed for each flash setting

¢1 It may vary depending on the [MIN. SHTR SPEED] setting (P145).

• Refer to P87 for details about the Aperture-Priority, Shutter-Priority, and Manual Exposure

modes.

• In Snapshot Mode, shutter speed changes depending on the identified scene.

• In Advanced Scene Mode (P91) and Scene Mode (P96), the shutter speeds will differ from

those described above.

Note

•

Do not bring the flash too close to objects or close the flash while it is fired. The objects

may be discolored by its heat or lighting.

• Do not close the flash soon after the flash is fired prior to taking pictures due to AUTO/Red-Eye

Reduction etc. It causes a malfunction.

• When you take a picture beyond the available flash range, it may not be adequately exposed,

i.e. it may be too bright or too dark.

• When the flash is being charged, the flash icon flashes red, and you cannot take a picture even

when you press the shutter button fully.

• The White Balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for the subject.

• The flash effect may not be sufficient when using [FLASH BURST] (P101) in Scene Mode or

when shutter speed is fast.

• When taking a picture with the flash, we recommend removing the lens hood. In some

cases it may not allow the scene to be illuminated properly.

• Charging the flash may take longer after taking pictures in quick succession.

• The Red-Eye Reduction effect differs between people. Also, if the subject was far away from

the camera or was not looking at the first flash, the effect may not be evident.
