¢The shutter speed changes depending on the slow shutter setting. (P66)

•Do not stare at the photo flash from close proximity.

•If you bring the flash too close to the subjects, they may be distorted or discoloured by its heat and lighting.

•Do not cover the photo flash with your fingers or any other items.

•While the flash is charged, the LCD monitor turns off and you cannot take pictures. The status indicator lights. [Except when the AC adaptor (DMW-AC2; optional) is used.]

If the remaining battery power is low, the LCD monitor may be turned off for longer time.

•When you take a picture beyond the flash control range, the exposure may not be adjusted properly and the picture may become bright or dark.

•When you repeat taking a picture, recording may be disabled even if the flash is activated. Take a picture after the access indication disappears.

•When the jitter alert appears, we recommend using the flash.

•When you set to burst mode or auto bracket, only 1 picture is recorded for every flash activated.

•The flash icon turns red when activating the flash and pressing the shutter button halfway.

•When taking a picture with the flash, the white balance will be automatically adjusted [except for [ ] (Daylight)], but the white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient.

•When the shutter speed is fast, the flash effect may not be sufficient.
