BUILT-IN
FLASH
Notes on using built-in flash
• Do not touch the flash when it is firing;
normal operation can cause it
to
heat
up
.
• Never fire the flash more than 20
consecutive times at intervals
of
5 sec.
or shorter. This may impair flash
performance. After each continuous
firing, let the flash rest at least 10
minutes before firing again.
When you continuously fire the flash,
the camera's handgrip may become hot;
this
is
normal. Continuous firing will
result
in
a longer interval before the
ready-light comes on because it takes
longer for the flash to recharge
automatically.
