When a subject is closer than 1m there will be an additional exposure (2~3times) to
ensure the correct lighting levels. Please do not move until the main flash fires.
Using the flash frequently will reduce the life of the batteries.
Under normal operating conditions, the charging time for the flash is normally under
10 seconds. If the batteries are weak, the charging time will be longer.
If you take a outdoor photography or the subject is in shady place, set the flash mode
Fill-in flash to get a good result.
If you take a picture in dark place and the flash mode is off, LOW LUMINANCE
message will display on the LCD monitor. In addition, it may cause the camera to lock the
Shutter automatically. In this case, set the flash mode to Auto flash and take a picture again.
