Do not look directly at the ash at
close range when it is activated.
Do not bring the ash too close to
objects or close the ash while it
is activated. The objects may be
discolored by its heat or lighting.
While the ash is charged, the LCD
monitor turns off and you cannot take
pictures. The status indicator lights up.
If the remaining battery power is low,
the screen may be turned off for a
longer period of time.
When you take a picture beyond the
available ash range, the exposure may
not be adjusted properly and the picture
may become bright or dark.
When the ash icon blinks, the ash is
being charged and you cannot take a
picture even when you press the shutter
button fully.
The white balance may not be properly
adjusted if the photo ash is insuf cient.
When the shutter speed is fast, the ash
effect may not be suf cient.
When you repeat taking a picture,
recording may be disabled even if the
ash 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 rst ash, the effect may not be evident.
In burst mode or auto bracket mode, you
cannot use the ash.
