TIPS
The # (flash charge) indication blinks.
→ The flash is charging. Wait until # goes off.
Camera movement warning (Auto-flash, red-eye reduction flash,
fill-in flash)
→ When # (camera movement warning) lights, the shutter speed
locks at its current level. This helps prevent camera shake
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.
• The flash does not fire in the following situations:
In the movie record mode, during auto bracketing, during
super-macro shooting, when FUNCTION is set to WHITE
BOARD/BLACK BOARD, and 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.
• If a conversion lens is attached to the camera, do not use the flash.
