Do not touch or look at the flash (7) from close distances (i.e. a few cm).
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.
When [
] is set in [SENSITIVITY], the ISO sensitivity is automatically set in a
range up to 1600.
Scene Mode flash settings are restored to default when Scene Mode is changed.
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 10 cm (0.33 feet)
for max. W).
