TIPS
• The orange lamp or the (flash standby) mark blinks.
T The flash is charging. Wait until the orange lamp or lights
steadily.
• Camera movement warning (auto, red-eye reduction , fill-in ).
T When the orange lamp or (camera movement warning) lights
up, the shutter speed locks at its current level. This helps prevent
camera movement problems (shutter speeds that are too slow can
cause blur). However, if the zoom magnification is increased, the
camera will increase the locked shutter speed accordingly.
Zoom position & shutter speed
W (max.): 1/30 sec., T (max.): 1/100 sec.
• The flash does not fire in the following situations:
In the mode, during auto bracketing (BKT), during super-macro
shooting, during panorama shooting.
• The flash may not give you the optimum result in macro mode,
especially with wide-angle shooting. Check the resulting picture on
the monitor.
