Note
•
Do not bring the flash too close to objects or close the flash while it is activated. The
objects may be discolored by its heat or lighting.
• Do not close the flash soon after the flash is activated prior to taking pictures due to AUTO/
Red-eye reduction etc. It causes a malfunction.
• When you take a picture beyond the available flash range, the exposure may not be adjusted
properly and the picture may become bright or dark.
• 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.
• The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for the subject.
• When the shutter speed is fast, the flash effect may not be sufficient.
• It may take time to charge the flash if you repeat taking a picture. Take a picture after the
access indication disappears.
• The red-eye reduction effect differs between people. Also, if the subject was far away from the
camera or was not looking at the first flash, the effect may not be evident.
• When the [CONVERSION] (P90) is set to [ ], the flash is fixed to [Œ].
• When the external flash is installed, it will be prioritized. See P121 for more information on the
external flash.
