Panasonic DMC-FX07, DMC-FX3 Shutter speed for each flash setting Flash setting, Red-eye Reduction

Advanced

•The available flash range is an approximation.

•Refer to P72 for the ISO sensitivity.

•Refer to P26 for the focus range.

•If ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] or

[ ] (DMC-FX07) when using the flash, it will be automatically increased to a maximum of [ISO400].

•To avoid noise, we recommend decreasing the ISO sensitivity (P72) or setting [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P78)

•If you take a picture with the flash at close range when the zoom is near [W] (1k), the edges of the recorded picture may become dark. Rotate the zoom lever slightly and then take the picture.

•Do not look directly at the flash at close range when it is activated.

•If you bring the flash too close to an object, the object may be distorted or discolored by the heat or lighting from the flash.

•Do not cover the photo flash with your fingers or other objects.

•In economy mode, the LCD monitor turns off and the status indicator lights while the flash is charging. [This does not happen when using the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5; optional).] If the remaining battery power is low, the length of time that the LCD monitor turns off to charge may become longer.

•If you press the shutter button halfway when the flash is activated, the flash icon turns red.

•When the jitter alert appears, we recommend using a tripod.

•When you take a picture beyond the available flash range, the exposure may not be adjusted properly and the picture may become bright or dark.

•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 taking a picture with the flash, the white balance is automatically adjusted (except for [ ]). However, the white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient. (P70)

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

•If you repeat taking a picture, it may not actually be taken even if the flash is activated. 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.

•When you set burst mode or auto bracket, only 1 picture is recorded for every flash activated.
