Recording
• When recording with the flash, white saturation can occur if the subject is too close. If
[Highlight] of the [Custom] menu is set to [ON], regions of white saturation will blink black and
white when you play back or use Auto Review. In this case, we recommend that you adjust
[Flash Adjust.] (P133) in the minus direction and record the pictures again.
• Do not bring the flash too close to objects or close the flash while it is activated. The objects
may be discolored by its heat or lighting.
• Do not close the flash soon after the flash is activated prior to taking pictures due to Forced ON/
Red-Eye Reduction etc. It causes a malfunction.
• Recording a subject from too close, or without sufficient flash will not provide the appropriate
level of exposure, and may result in a picture that is too white or dark.
• You must wait a moment to take the next picture while the flash icon is blinking RED indicating
the flash is charging.
• If recording a subject without sufficient flash, the White Balance may not be properly adjusted.
• When you use certain lenses, light from the flash may be blocked or fail to cover the lens
field of view, causing dark areas to appear in the resulting pictures.
• When taking pictures with flash with the lens hood attached, the lower portion of the photo may
turn dark and the control of the flash may be disabled because the photo flash may be
obscured by the lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.
• It may take time to charge the Flash if you repeatedly take pictures. 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 first flash, the effect may not be evident.
• When you attach an external flash, it takes priority over the built-in flash. Refer to P265 for the
external flash.
