Check that the Ready icon “
j
” is displayed in the
viewfinder display and take the picture, taking care to
stay within the flash control range (
☞
P.74).
• If the Ready icon “
j
” flashes for about 3 seconds after the shutter
release, the flash fired at full power and the image may be
underexposed. Recheck the distance to the subject, the aperture and the
flash control range and then try taking the picture again.
• If you are using AF (auto focus) and the subject is dimly lit, the AF
auxiliary lamp (
☞
P.57) lights automatically to focus the camera.
• When the exposure mode is AUTO or programmed auto, the widest
aperture setting that can be automatically set by the camera varies
depending on selected ISO sensitivity. See P.79.
The intensity of the flash varies depending on the composition of the shot and
can detract from the intended exposure for the main subject. If this occurs,
take the shot using exposure compensation (
☞
P.71).
