The flash function will automatically return to
auto-flash mode when the power is turned off.
To make the camera retain the selected flash mode even after the
power is turned off, set the clear settings function in the shooting menu
to OFF (p.98).
HELP
• If the orange lamp next to the viewfinder is blinking, it means that the flash
is being recharged and it is not possible to shoot.Take your finger off the
shutter button and wait for the orange lamp to go out before shooting
again.
• When using the flash in macro mode (p.55), a portion of the picture may be
cropped, the contrast may be too extreme. After shooting, be sure to check
such pictures on the monitor.
CAUTION
• If the flash is pressed down while taking a picture, it does not fire and could
cause the image to be dark.
