Note

•If you bring the Flash too close to an object, the object may be distorted or discoloured by the heat or lighting from the Flash.

•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.

•When the Flash is being charged, the Flash icon blinks red, and you cannot take a picture even when you press the shutter button fully.

•If recording a subject without sufficient flash, the White Balance may not be properly adjusted.

•The effects of the flash may not be adequately achieved under the following conditions.

–When [Burst] is set to [ ]

–When the shutter speed is too fast

•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 is far away from the camera or was not looking at the first Flash, the effect may not be evident.
