people’s eyes appear red in pictures.

Caution---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You cannot shoot when the flash is charging (approx. 8 seconds).

If the camera is powered by AAA alkaline or NiMH batteries, the picture display will turn off while the flash charges.

After the camera is turned on, it may take longer for the camera to become ready for shooting when using the flash.

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.
