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.
With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in
accordance with exposure. It does not fire in areas where
lighting is bright.
The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or
some other light source can cause abnormal image colors.
