Notes
•
The recommended shooting distance is 0.6 to 2.5 m (23 5/8 inches to 8 1/3 feet).
•
Attaching a conversion lens (not supplied) may block the light from the flash and the recorded
image may be eclipsed.
•
You cannot use the built-in flash and an external strobe at the same time.
•
The
indicator appears when the flash is not popped up under situations that you should use
the flash.
•
Auto red-eye reduction may not produce the desired red-eye reduction effects depending
on individual differences, the distance to the subject, if the subject does not see the pre-strobe,
or other conditions. In addition, red-eye reduction effects are also difficult to obtain if you
select a slow shutter speed in shutter priority mode of the PROGRAM AE function.
•
The flash effect is not obtained easily when you use forced flash in a bright location.
