Setting Flash (Continued)
•When setting REC mode to Video or Burst, the flash setting is fixed to Flash off.
•When rotating the lens, an orange
flash off mark [ 
] appears.
When setting to Auto or Reduced red eye in the bright place, flash off mark appears.
When using the flash,
•Do not stare at the flash light from close proximity.
•Do not use the flash if taking a picture in the close proximity of the subject. The amount of light may overexpose the image causing color or image degradation.
•Do not cover the flash with your fingers.
•The available flash range is about 1.64 feet (50 cm) - 3.28 feet (1 m). If the subject is too close to the camera when taking a picture, the exposure value may not be set properly and the picture may appear washed out.
•The flash indication blinks red during charge. You cannot take a picture even when you press the shutter button.
•When taking a picture with the flash, the white balance will be automatically adjusted, but the white balance may not be properly adjusted when the flash light is insufficient.
•When taking a picture with the flash after setting the white balance manually (P42), the white balance may not be properly adjusted. We recommend setting the white balance to Auto when using the flash. (P41)
