Flashes orange while the flash is charging to indicate that image recording is disabled.
•You will not be able to take another flash snapshot until the lamp stops flashing orange, which indicates that charging is complete.
NOTE
•Take care so your fingers and the strap do not block the flash.
•The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is too far away or too close.
•Flash charging time depends on operating conditions (battery condition, ambient temperature, etc.) With a fully charged battery it takes anywhere from a few seconds to 3 seconds.
•Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a slow shutter speed, which can cause image blur due to camera movement. Under such conditions, secure the camera with a tripod, etc.
•With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in accordance with exposure. It does not fire in areas where lighting is bright.
•The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or some other light source can cause abnormal image colors.
