Do not look directly at the fl ash at
close range when it is activated.
Do not bring the fl ash too close to
objects or close the fl ash while it
is activated. The objects may be
discolored by its heat or lighting.
While the fl ash is charged, the LCD
monitor turns off and you cannot take
pictures. The status indicator lights up.
If the remaining battery power is low,
the screen may be turned off for a
longer period of time.
When you take a picture beyond the
available fl ash range, the exposure may
not be adjusted properly and the picture
may become bright or dark.
When the fl ash icon blinks, the fl ash is
being charged and you cannot take a
picture even when you press the shutter
button fully.
The white balance may not be properly
adjusted if the photo fl ash is insuffi cient.
When the shutter speed is fast, the fl ash
effect may not be suffi cient.
When you repeat taking a picture,
recording may be disabled even if the
fl ash is activated. Take a picture after the
access indication disappears.
The red-eye reduction effect differs
between people. Also, if the subject was
far away from the camera or was not
looking at the fi rst fl ash, the effect may
not be evident.
In burst mode or auto bracket mode, you
cannot use the fl ash.
