You can adjust this from j2 EV to i2 EV in steps of 1/3 EV.

The determined flash output is memorized even if the camera is turned off.

¬Suggestions/Tips ¬

• In Night portrait mode [ ], flash setting is fixed to Slow sync./Red-eye

reduction [ ].

• In Motion image mode [ ] or when

the flash is closed, flash setting is fixed to the Forced OFF [ ].

When using the flash in ISO AUTO setting, the ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted from ISO50 to ISO400. To avoid noises, decrease the ISO sensitivity.

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 be distorted or discolored by its heat and

lighting.

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

If the subject is too close when using the flash, the picture may be over exposed.

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.

When taking a picture with the flash, we recommend removing the lens hood. In some cases it may not allow the scene to be illuminated properly.

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

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

when the photo flash is insufficient.

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

To avoid noises, we recommend setting each item on [PICT.ADJ.] to [LOW]. (P79)

Refer to P74 for the ISO sensitivity.

Refer to P84 for the external flash.
