INFORMATION

flash, the first flash fires to check the shooting condition (Flash range and |
Power ratio of flash). |
Do not move until the second flash fires. |
● Using the flash frequently will reduce the life of the battery. |
● Under normal operating conditions the charging time for the flash is |
normally less than 5.5 seconds. If the battery is weak, the charging time will |
be longer. |

reflective. |

white speck in the captured image. The speck is caused by the reflecting of |
the flash light from the atmospheric dust. It is not camera malfunction. |
