Panasonic DMC-FZ30EB operating instructions Do not stare at the photo flash from close proximity

Recording pictures (basic)

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

•Do not bring the flash too close to objects or close the flash while it is activated. The objects may be discoloured by its heat or lighting.

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

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

•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 access indication 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.

•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.

•Do not close the flash soon after the flash is activated prior to taking pictures due to AUTO/Red-eye reduction etc. It causes a malfunction.

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

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

is insufficient.

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

•Refer to P97 for information about extra flashes.

•When using a conversion lens, the built-in flash setting is fixed to Forced OFF [ ].
