■ Shutter speed for each flash mode
• The settings may be different from those
shown here if you are using scene modes.
– [NIGHT SCENERY] : 8 to 1/2000 (sec.)
– [STARRY SKY] : 15, 30 or 60 (sec.)
• Do not stare at the photo flash from
close proximity.
• If you bring the flash too close to the
subjects, they may appear distorted or
discoloured by its heat and lighting.
• Do not cover the photo flash with your
fingers or any other items.
• When you take a picture beyond the flash
control range, the exposure may not be
adjusted properly and the picture may
become bright or dark.
• When you repeat taking a picture,
recording may be disabled even if the
flash is activated. Take a picture after the
card access indication disappears.
• When the jitter alert appears, we
recommend using the flash.
• When you set to burst mode or auto
bracket, only 1 picture is recorded for
every flash activated.
• The flash icon turns red when activating
the flash and pressing the shutter button
halfway.
• When the flash is being charged, the flash
icon blinks red, and you cannot take a
picture even when you press the shutter
button fully.
• When taking a picture with the flash, the
white balance will be automatically
adjusted [except for [k] (Daylight)], but
the white balance may not be properly
adjusted if the photo flash is insufficient.
• When the shutter speed is fast, the flash
effect may not be sufficient.
• Do not close the flash immediately after
using a secondary light source, for
example AUTO/Red-eye reduction
[s]. Doing so can damage the
camera.
• In motion picture mode [i],
[SCENERY], [NIGHT SCENERY],
[FIREWORKS] or [STARRY SKY] in
scene mode (P61), the flash mode is fixed
to Forced OFF [
v] even if the flash is
open.
• You can extend the shutter speed by up to
1/8 by using exposure compensation.
