åUsing the flash frequently will reduce the life of the battery.

åUnder normal operating conditions the recharging time for the flash is usually within 4 seconds. If the battery is weak, the charging time will be longer.

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

åTake photographs within the flash range.

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

åWhen 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.
