Using the flash skilfully
When taking pictures with flash with the lens hood attached, the lower portion of the photo may turn
dark and the control of the flash may be disabled because the photo flash may be obscured by the
lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.
●
Avoid doing the following, as the heat or light could cause deformation or discolouration.
•Putting the flash close to objects
•Covering the flash with your hand as it is firing
•Closing the flash as it is firing
●
Do not close the flash immediately after the preliminary flash is operated prior to taking pictures for
Forced ON/Red-Eye Reduction and other flash settings. If you close the flash immediately, it will
cause a malfunction.
●
Flash charging may take time if battery is low or if using flash repeatedly. When the flash is being
charged, the flash icon flashes red, and you cannot take a picture even when you fully press the
shutter button.
●
When an External Flash is attached, it will have priority over the built-in flash. For information
