•Adjusting the flash intensity may not be effective when:

-the subject is too close to the camera

-you set a high ISO sensitivity

-the exposure value is too big or too small

-it is too bright or too dark

•In some shooting modes, you cannot use this function.

•If you attach an intensity-adjustable external flash to the camera, the intensity settings of the flash will be applied.

•If the subject is too close when you use the flash, some light may be blocked, resulting in a dark photo. Ensure that the subject is within the recommended range, which varies by lens.

•When a lens hood is attached, the light from the flash can be blocked by the hood. Remove the hood to use the flash.
