•When the flash is activated the fastest shutter speed that can be selected is 1/160 of a second.

•In Intelligent Auto ( or ) Mode, shutter speed changes depending on the identified scene.

Note

•When recording with the flash, white saturation can occur if the subject is too close. If [Highlight] of the [Custom] menu is set to [ON], regions of white saturation will blink black and white when you play back or use Auto Review.

•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 close the flash soon after the flash is activated prior to taking pictures due to Forced ON/ Red-Eye Reduction etc. It causes a malfunction.

•Flash pictures taken closer or beyond the flash’s rated distance may appear too bright or too dark.

•You must wait a moment to take the next picture while the flash icon is blinking RED indicating the flash is charging.

•If recording a subject without sufficient flash, the White Balance may not be properly adjusted.

•When you use certain lenses, light from the flash may be blocked or fail to cover the lens field of view, causing dark areas to appear in the resulting pictures.

•When taking pictures with flash with the lens hood attached, the lower portion of the photo may turn dark and the control of the flash may be disabled because the photo flash may be obscured by the lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.

•It may take time to charge the Flash if you repeatedly take pictures. Take a picture after the access indication disappears.

•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.
