BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

•When the flash is turned off (), mount the camera on a tripod to record images in an area where available lighting is dim. Recording images under dim lighting without the flash can cause digital noise, which makes images appear coarse.

•When red-eye reduction () is selected, flash intensity is adjusted automatically in accordance with the exposure. The flash may not fire at all when the subject is brightly lit.

•Using flash in combination with another light source (daylight, fluorescent light, etc.) can result in abnormal image colors.
