) / Left button

In the DUAL IS 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.
