Precautions when Using Flash
Make sure that you do not touch or block the flash or the exposure sensor with your fingers. Doing so can soil these components and interfere with correct flash operation.
Flash
Exposure sensor
Depending on operating conditions (type of batteries being used, temperature, etc.), it may take up to 10 seconds for the flash unit to charge (when fresh batteries are loaded in the camera).
The flash unit may not be able to charge when battery power is low. Low battery power is indicated when the flash mode indicator on the monitor screen turns red, and the flash fails to fire, resulting in improper image exposure. Re- place batteries as soon as possible after any of these symptoms occurs.
