Setting up the recording function using the camera buttons

ξIf you press the shutter button after selecting the Auto, Fill-in, Slow synchro 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.

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

ξUnder normal operating conditions the re-charging time for the

flash is usually within 4 seconds. If the battery is weak, the charging time will be longer.

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

ξTake photographs within the flash range.

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

ξWhen 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.
