Turning Off/On the
recording indicator
• Although the flash range differs
according to the subject, as a
reference, its range is about
1–2.5 m in dark places.
• Although the amount of light
emitted will automatically be
adjusted at time of emission, the
flash may not be sufficiently
adjusted if the distance to the
subject is too distant or too near.
• In bright or backlit conditions, it
may be difficult to derive the full
effect of the flash.
• When recording consecutive
shots using the flash, the flash
may not fire or the amount of
light emitted may not be
sufficiently adjusted. After using
the flash to record, it is
recommended that you wait for a
while and then press
PHOTO
to
record again.
• Do not emit the flash close up in
front of a person’s eyes. Doing so
may cause eyesight damage.
Particularly when recording
infants using the flash, record at a
distance greater than 1 m away.
• Do not fire the flash at the driver/
rider of a moving vehicle or
bicycle, etc. Doing so will
temporary blind the driver and
may result in accident.
• Do not use the flash in locations
where flammable or combustible
gas is present. Doing so may
cause the gas to ignite or explode.

Recording Indicator
Beneath the Lens
The recording indicator beneath the
lens lights red while recording to

You can turn the indicator off when
recording through reflective objects
such as glass or a fish tank, etc., so its
