The flash will not fire in the following cases:

-When you press the EXP button in (auto) or (red-eye reduction, auto) mode.

-When (auto) or (red-eye reduction, auto) is selected and a shutter speed of 1/2000 is set in the CAMERA• mode.

-During auto exposure bracketing.

When (flash on) is selected and a shutter speed of 1/2000 is set in the CAMERA• mode, the shutter speed becomes set to 1/1000 and the flash fires.

We recommend not using the flash when the optional Wide-converter or Tele- converter is attached. Their shadows appear on the screen.

The flash mode cannot be selected when exposure is locked, or after the first still image in Stitch Assist mode.

The red-eye reduction mode cannot be used in stitch assist mode.
