The following table shows the flash modes available for
each Photography mode.

(Indicator lamp blinking orange), the picture will be
taken without the flash (when using AUTO or b).
• The flash charging time may increase when the
batteries are low on charge.
• When taking a picture using the flash, the image may
disappear and go dark briefly due to flash charging. The
Indicator lamp blinks orange during charging.
• The flash fires several times (pre-flashes and the main
flash). Do not move the camera until the picture is
taken.
