Note
• If you bring the flash too close to an object, the object may be distorted or discoloured by the
heat or lighting from the flash.
• When you take a picture beyond the available flash range, the exposure may not be adjusted
properly and the picture may become too bright or too dark.
• When the flash is being charged, the flash icon blinks 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.
• When the shutter speed is fast, the flash effect may not be sufficient.
• It may take time to charge the flash if you are taking pictures in quick succession. Take a
picture after the access indication disappears.
• The Red-Eye Reduction effect differs between people. Also, if the subject is far away from the
camera or was not looking at the first flash, the effect may not be evident.
