1

flash output.
2
Press [MENU/SET] to finish.
• You can also press the shutter
button halfway to finish.
• When the flash output is adjusted, the
flash output value appears on the upper
left of the screen.
• The flash output setting is memorized
even if the camera is turned off.
• In Auto mode [0], motion picture
mode [i], and [SCENERY] (P63),
[NIGHT SCENERY] (P64),
[FIREWORKS] (P66), [STARRY SKY]
(P67), [AERIAL PHOTO] (P68) or
[HIGH SENS.] (P68) in scene mode,
you cannot adjust the flash output.
• Do not look directly at the flash at
close range when it is activated.
• Do not bring the flash too close to
objects or close the flash while it is
activated. The objects may be
discolored by its heat or lighting.
• Do not cover the photo flash with your
fingers or any other items.
•
In economy mode, the LCD monitor
turns off and the status indicator blinks
while the flash is charged. [This does
not happen when using the AC adaptor
(DMW-AC5; optional).]
If the remaining battery power is low,
the length of time that the LCD monitor
turns off to charge may become longer.
•
The flash icon turns red when activating the
flash and pressing the shutter button halfway.
• When the jitter alert appears, we
recommend using a tripod.
• 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 taking a picture with the flash, the white
balance will be automatically adjusted [except
for [
x
] (Daylight), [ ] (Flash)], but the
white balance may not be properly adjusted if
the photo flash is insufficient. (P82)
• When the shutter speed is fast, the flash
effect may not be sufficient.
• When you repeat taking a picture,
recording may be disabled even if the
flash is activated. Take a picture after the
access indication disappears.
•
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.
•
Do not close the flash immediately after
using a secondary light source, for example
AUTO/Red-eye reduction [
s
]. Doing
so can damage the camera.
•
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 you set burst mode or auto bracket,
only 1 picture is recorded for every flash
activated.
• You can extend the shutter speed by up to
1/8 by using exposure compensation.
•
Sand or seawater may cause the camera to
malfunction. Make sure that sand or seawater
does not come in touch with the flash.
