¬Suggestions/Tips ¬

In Landscape mode [ ]/Motion

image mode [ ], flash setting is fixed to the Forced OFF [ ].

When using the flash in [AUTO] setting, the ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted from [ISO50] to [ISO400] (For DMC-LC80, the ISO sensitivity can be automatically adjusted from [ISO80] to [ISO400].). To avoid noises, decrease the ISO sensitivity.

Do not stare at the photo flash from close proximity when using the flash.

If you bring the flash too close to the subjects, they may be distorted or discoloured by its heat and lighting.

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

If the subject is too close when using the flash, the picture may be over exposed.

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.

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

When the flash is being charged, the status indicator and the flash icon blink red, and you cannot take a picture even when you press the shutter button fully.

If the battery indicator is less than

[ ] or setting to the Economy mode [ ], the LCD monitor turns off during charging the flash.

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

adjusted [except for [ ] (Daylight)], but the white balance may not be properly adjusted when the photo flash is insufficient.

To avoid picture noises, we recommend setting [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P58)

Refer to P53 for the ISO sensitivity.
