z The High-Power Flash will not fire when the
shooting mode dial is set to M.
z The flash charge time will lengthen as the
battery charge gets weaker. Always set the
power/mode switch to [OFF] when you
finish using the flash.
z Be careful not to touch the flash window or
sensor windows with your fingers while the
flash is in use.
z In outdoor settings in the daylight, the flash
may not detect illumination from the
camera’s built-in flash and may not fire.
z The flash may fire if another flash is being
used in close proximity.
z The flash may not fire if there are no
reflective items in its metering field.
z For continuous shooting, although the flash
fires for the first shot, it does not fire for
subsequent shots.
z If the battery usage time has considerably
diminished, wipe the battery terminals well
with a dry cloth as the terminals may be
soiled with oil from one’s skin or other dirt.
