IMPORTANT!
• The flash unit of this camera fires a number of times
when you record an image. The initial flashes are pre-
flashes, which the camera uses to obtain information it
uses for exposure settings. The final flash is for re-
cording. Make sure that you keep the camera still until
the shutter releases.
• Image recording may not be performed if you press
the shutter release button while the operation/flash
charge lamp is flashing amber.
To do this:
Have the flash fire automatically
when required (Auto Flash)
Turn off the flash (Flash Off)
Always fire the flash (Flash On)
Fire a pre-flash followed by image
recording with flash, reducing the
chance of red-eye in the image (Red-
eye reduction)
