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

•The available flash range is about 0.98 feet (30 cm) – 6.89 feet (2.1 m). (When setting to ISO100)

•If the subject is too close when using the flash, the image may be over exposed.

•When the jitter alert is displayed within the available flash range, we recommend using the flash.

•Do not cover the flash sensor 1 with your finger or any other item. Otherwise the picture will not be exposed properly. Similarly, do not cover the flash light.

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

•The flash indication becomes red when pressing the shutter button halfway.

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

•Be sure to open the flash entirely when using the flash.
