• Do not look directly at the flash at close
range when it is activated.
• If you bring the flash too close to an
object, the object may be distorted or
discoloured by the heat or lighting from
the flash.
• In economy mode, the LCD monitor turns
off and the status indicator lights while
the flash is charging. [This does not
happen when using the AC adaptor
(optional).]
If the remaining battery power is low, the
length of time that the LCD monitor turns
off to charge may become longer.
• When you take a picture beyond the
available flash range, the exposure may not
be adjusted properly and the picture may
become bright or dark.
• When the flash is being charged, the flash
icon blinks red, and you cannot take a
picture even when you press the shutter
button fully.
• The white balance may not be properly
adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for
the subject. (P77)
• When the shutter speed is fast, the flash
effect may not be sufficient.
• It may take time to charge the flash if you
repeat taking a picture. Take a picture after
the access indication disappears.
• The red-eye reduction effect differs between
people. Also, if the subject was far away
from the camera or was not looking at the
first flash, the effect may not be evident.
• When the flash is activated, you can only
take 1 picture.
