Flash () / Left button

If you press the shutter button after selecting the flash, the first flash fires to check the shooting condition (Flash range and Power ratio of flash). Do not move the camera until the second flash fires.

Using the flash frequently will reduce the life of the battery. Under normal operating conditions the re-charging time for the flash is usually within 5 seconds. If the battery is weak, the charging time will be longer.

In the DIS mode, [Landscape], [Close up], [Text], [Sunset], [Dawn], [Firework] scene modes and the Movie clip mode, the flash function will not operate.

Take photographs within the flash range.

The image quality is not guaranteed if the subject is too close or highly reflective.

When taking an image in poorly lit conditions with the flash, there may be a white speck in the captured image. The speck is caused by the flash light reflecting off atmospheric dust.
