IMPORTANT!

•The flash unit of this camera fires a number of times when you record an image. The initial flashes are pre- flashes, which the camera uses to obtain information it uses for exposure settings. The final flash is for re- cording. Make sure that you keep the camera still until the shutter releases.

•Image recording may not be performed if you press the shutter release button while the operation/flash charge lamp is flashing amber.
