Suggestions/Tips
¬
• In Motion image mode or when the
flash is closed, flash setting is fixed to
the Forced OFF [ ].
• Do not stare at the photo flash from
close proximity when using the
flash.
• If you bring the flash too close to
the subjects, they may be distorted
or discoloured by its heat and
lighting.
• Do not cover the photo flash with
your fingers or any other items.
• When you take pictures out of the
range of the flash control, the picture
may be over exposed.
• 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, we recommend removing the
lens hood. In some cases it may not
allow the scene to be illuminated
properly.
• When taking a picture with the flash,
the white balance will be automatically
adjusted [except for [ ] (Daylight)
and [ ] (Flash)] (P61), but the white
balance may not be properly adjusted
when the photo flash is insufficient.
• When the shutter speed is fast, the
flash effect may not be sufficient.
• To avoid noises, we recommend
setting each item on [PICT.ADJ.] to
[LOW]. (P72)
• Refer to P68 for the ISO sensitivity.
• Refer to P105 for the external flash.
• In the bounce flash
• Select the whitish ceiling with high
reflection ratio. If not, the colour or
the pattern may be reflected to the
picture.
• The available flash range becomes
shorter than usual.
• When you select too high ceiling,
the reflected light may not reach to
the subject.
• Using the flash for bounce flash on
the position other than specified
may cause a malfunction.
• When you repeat taking pictures using
the flash, recording may be impossible
if the flash is activated. Try recording
after the card access indicator turns
off.
