●
Do not put your hands over the light-emitting area of the flash (
→
9, 10) or look at it
from close range (a few centimeters away).
Do not use the flash at close distances to other subjects (heat/light may damage subject).
●
Flash settings may be changed when changing recording mode.
●
Scene mode flash settings are restored to default when scene mode is changed.
●
Edges of picture may become slightly dark if using flash at short distances without
using zoom (close to max. W). This may be remedied by using a little zoom.
●
If flash is to be emitted, flash type marks (e.g.
) will turn red when shutter button is
pressed halfway.
●
No pictures may be taken if these marks (e.g.
) are flashing (flash is charging).
●
Insufficient flash reach may be due to inadequately set exposure or white balance.
●
Flash effect may not be fully achieved with high shutter speeds.
●
Flash charging may take time if battery is low, or if using flash repeatedly.
When you want to enlarge the subject, setting to [AF MACRO] (
) enables you to take
pictures at an even closer distance than the normal focus range (up to 3 cm (0.10 feet) for
max. W).

‘Tele macro’ function
Useful for taking close-up pictures of, for example, birds that may fly away if approached,
or to blur background and emphasize subject.
‘Tele macro’ operates automatically when optical or Extra optical zoom ratios are
close to the maximum T setting (10x or above for optical zoom).
The focus can be
aligned for distances as close as 1 m (3.28 feet).
