TIPS
The

The flash is charging. Wait until

and the orange lamp beside the
viewfinder turn off.
Shutter speed when using the flash (auto-flash, red-eye reduction, fill-in
flash).
• When
#
(camera movement warning) lights, the shutter speed locks at its
current level. This helps prevent camera shake problems (shutter speeds
that are too slow can cause blur). However, if the zoom magnification is
increased, the camera will increase the locked shutter speed accordingly.
