Advanced (Recording pictures)
Note
•
Do not bring the flash too close to objects or close the flash while it is activated. The
objects may be discoloured by its heat or lighting.
• Do not close the flash soon after the flash is activated prior to taking pictures due to AUTO/
Red-eye reduction etc. It causes a malfunction.
• 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. When [AUTO LCD OFF] is set, the LCD monitor
turns off and the power lamp lights.
• The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for the subject.
• When the shutter speed is fast, the flash effect may not be sufficient.
• When taking a picture with the flash, we recommend removing the lens hood. In some
cases it may not allow the scene to be illuminated properly.
• 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.
• Flash is fixed to [Œ] when the [CONVERSION] (P138) is set to [ ] or [ ].
