Do not touch or look at the flash (P.14) from close distances (i.e. a few cm).

Do not use the flash at close distances to other subjects (heat/light may damage subject).

Flash settings may be changed when changing recording mode.

Scene mode flash settings are restored to default when scene mode is changed.

Edges of picture may become slightly dark if using flash at short distances without using zoom (close to max. W). This may be remedied by using a little zoom.
