8. Stabiliser, Zoom and Flash
In the following cases, the flash is fixed to [Œ] (forced flash off).
•
When recording motion pictures
• When using the electronic shutter
• When [HDR] is set to [ON]
• When [Silent Mode] is set to [ON]
• When an image effect in [Filter Select] of [Filter Settings] is set
Using the flash skilfully
•
When recording with the flash, white saturation can occur if the subject is too close.
If [Highlight] of the [Custom] menu is set to [ON], regions of white saturation will blink black 
and white when you play back or use Auto Review. In this case, we recommend that you 
adjust [Flash Adjust.] (P204) in the minus direction and record the pictures again.
• When taking pictures with flash with the lens hood attached, the lower portion of the photo 
may turn dark and the control of the flash may be disabled because the photo flash may be 
obscured by the lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.
