•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-AC5PP; 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 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.

•The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for the subject. (P59)

•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.

•When the flash is activated, you can only take 1 picture.
