IMPORTANT!
•Foreign matter on the flash window can react with the light of the flash, producing some smoke and abnormal odor. Though this does not indicate malfunction, oil from your fingers and other foreign matter when left on the flash window can become difficult to clean off later. Because of this, you should make it a regular habit to wipe the window clean regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
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 (page 194) depends on operating conditions (battery condition, ambient temperature, etc.).
•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.
•Select ? (Flash Off) for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash photography is prohibited.
•While A, S, or M is selected for the recording mode, the flash will not fire if > (Auto Flash) or ¥ (Red Eye Reduction) is selected as the flash mode. If you want the flash to fire, select < (Flash On) as the flash mode.
