Note

•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 AUTO/ Red-eye reduction etc. It causes a malfunction.

•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.

•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.

•The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for the subject.

•When the shutter speed is fast, the flash effect may not be sufficient.

•It may take time to charge the flash if you repeat taking a picture. 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 [CONVERSION] (P90) is set to [ ], the flash is fixed to [Œ].

•When the external flash is installed, it will be prioritized. See P121 for more information on the external flash.
