2 Press [MENU/SET] to finish.

You can adjust from [L2 EV] to [K2 EV] in steps of [1/3 EV].

When the flash output is adjusted, the flash output value appears on the upper left of the screen.

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

The flash output cannot be adjusted in the following cases:

In the auto mode [ ]

In the motion picture mode [ ]

In [SCENERY], [NIGHT SCENERY], [FIREWORKS], [STARRY SKY] or [HIGH SENS.] in scene mode

When [DIREC. EX. COMP.] (P93) in the [REC] mode menu is set to [ON], the flash output can be adjusted directly using the front dial or rear dial.

Do not look directly at the flash at close range when it is activated.

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

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

If you press the shutter button halfway when the flash is activated, the flash icon turns red.

When the jitter alert appears, we recommend using a tripod.

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 taking a picture with the flash, the white balance is automatically adjusted

(except for [ ], [ ]). However, the white balance may not be properly

adjusted if the flash level is insufficient. (P83)

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

If you repeat taking a picture, it may not actually be taken even if the flash is activated. Take a picture after the access indication disappears.

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.

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 using a conversion lens (optional)

or a close up lens (optional), the built-in

flash setting is fixed to Forced OFF [ ].

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

When you attach an external flash, it takes priority over the built-in flash. Refer to P99 for the external flash.

When the dedicated flash (DMW-FL500 or DMW-FL360; optional) is used, the flash output can be adjusted and the flash settings by picture-taking mode can be used.
