IMPORTANT!
• Flash assist may not produce the desired result for some
types of subjects.
• Any of the following can result in the flash assist effect
being canceled out.
– Changing the flash intensity (page 75)
– Correcting brightness (EV shift) (page 136)
– Changing ISO sensitivity (page 141)
– Changing the contrast setting (page 146)
■ Flash Precautions
• The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is
too far away or too close.
• Flash charging time depends on operating conditions (battery
condition, ambient temperature, etc.) With a fully charged
battery, it takes anywhere from a few seconds to 7 seconds.
• Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a
slow shutter speed, which can cause image blur due to hand
movement. Secure the camera with a tripod, etc.
• The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or
some other light source can cause abnormal image colors.
