lighting.

•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.
