SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
■ 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 8 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. Noise is
generated in images shot under these conditions, which can
make the image appear rough.
• 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.
With the self-timer, pressing the shutter button starts a timer,
and the shutter is released and the image is shot after a fixed
amount of time.
