If you have adjusted the flash level, appears on the LCD monitor/in the
viewfinder when the built-in flash is pulled up. When you adjust it, be careful not to
forget to reset the value.
The higher flash effect may not be visible due to the limited amount of flash light, if
the subject is outside the maximum range of the flash. If the subject is very close, the
lower flash effect may not be visible.
