INFORMATION

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

Under normal operating conditions the charging time for the flash is normally within 5 seconds. If the battery is weak, the charging time will be longer.

During the continuous shot, AEB, Motion capture, Interval shot and 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 reflecting of the flash light from the atmospheric dust. It is not camera malfuction.
