Advanced (Recording pictures)

•When the flash is being charged, the flash icon blinks red, and you cannot take a picture even

when you press the shutter button fully. When [AUTO LCD OFF] is set, the LCD monitor

turns off and the status indicator lights.

•The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for the subject.

•When the shutter speed is fast, the flash effect may not be sufficient.

•It may take time to charge the flash if you repeat taking a picture. Take a picture after the

access indication disappears.

•The red-eye reduction effect differs between people. Also, if the subject was far away from the

camera or was not looking at the first flash, the effect may not be evident.
