• Do not look directly at the flash at close
range when it is activated.
• Do not bring the flash too close to
objects or close the flash while it is
activated. The objects may be
discoloured by its heat or lighting.
• If you press the shutter button halfway when
the flash is activated, the flash icon turns
red.
• When you take a picture beyond the
available flash range, the exposure may not
be adjusted properly and the picture may
become bright or dark.
• 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
repeat taking a picture. Take a picture after
the access indication disappears.
• 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.
• When taking a picture with the flash, we
recommend removing the lens hood. In
some cases it may not allow the scene to
be illuminated properly.
• Do not close the flash soon after the flash is
activated prior to taking pictures due to
AUTO/Red-eye reduction etc. It causes a
malfunction.
• The red-eye reduction effect differs between
people. Also, if the subject was far away
from the camera or was not looking at the
first flash, the effect may not be evident.
• When using a tele conversion lens (optional)
or a close-up lens (optional), the built-in
flash setting is fixed to Forced OFF [
].
• When you set burst mode or auto bracket,
only 1 picture is recorded for every flash
activated.
