∫When using the photo flash

•Do not stare at the photo flash from close proximity when using the flash.

•If you bring the flash too close to the subjects, they may appear distorted or discoloured by its heat and lighting.

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

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

•When you repeat taking a picture, recording may be disabled even if the flash is activated. Take a picture after the card access lamp disappears.

•When the jitter alert appears, we recommend using the flash.

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

•The flash icon turns red when activating the flash and pressing the shutter button halfway.

•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.

•While the flash is being charged in economy mode, the LCD monitor is off.

•When taking a picture with the flash, the white balance will be automatically

adjusted [except for [ ] (Daylight)], but the white balance may not be properly

adjusted if the photo flash is insufficient.

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

•To avoid picture noise, we recommend setting [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P65)

•Refer to P61 for the ISO sensitivity.
