3: The shutter speed becomes a
maximum of 1 second in the following
cases.
– When the optical image stabilizer is set
to [OFF].
– When the camera has determined that
there is little jitter when the optical image
stabilizer is set to [MODE1] or [MODE2].
• There will be differences in the above
shutter speeds in the following scene
modes.
– [NIGHT SCENERY] (P45):
8 seconds to 1/2000th of a second

• Do not look directly at the flash at
close range when it is fired.
• If you bring the flash too close to an
object, the object may be distorted or
discolored by the heat or lighting from
the flash.
• In economy mode, the LCD monitor
turns off and the status indicator lights
while the flash is charging. [This does
not happen when using the AC adaptor
(ACA-DC4; optional).]
If the remaining battery power is low,
the length of time that the LCD monitor
turns off to charge may become longer.
• When you take a picture beyond the avail-
able flash range, the exposure may not be
exposed properly and the picture may
become bright or dark.
• When the flash is being charged, the flash
icon flashes red, and you cannot take a
picture even when you press the shutter
button fully.
• The white balance may not be properly
adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for
the subject. (P58)
• When the shutter speed is fast, the flash
effect may not be sufficient.
• It may take time to charge the flash if you
repeat taking a picture. Take a picture
after the access indication disappears.
• The red-eye reduction effect differs
between people. Also, if the subject was
far away from the camera or was not look-
ing at the first flash, the effect may not be
evident.
• When the flash is activated, you can only
take 1 picture.
