•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.

•The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient. (P68)

•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.

•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 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 pictures in burst mode or auto bracket, only 1 picture is recorded for every flash activated.

•If you take pictures with the flash when the lens hood is attached, the flash may be obscured by the lens hood.

•When you attach an external flash, it takes priority over the built-in flash. Refer to P105 for the external flash.

Adjusting the flash output

Adjust the flash output when the subject is small or reflection ratio is extremely high or low.
