on the subject or the skin color of the
subject may be turned white. In this
case, you can defuse the shadows and
take pictures naturally by using bounce
flash.
You can slant the flash at a 65o angle.
(Bounce flash lock)
Aim the flash at the ceiling and take
the picture.
• We recommend setting the white
balance to [AUTO] (P62).

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 discolored 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)] (P62), 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.
• To avoid noises, we recommend
setting each item on [PICT.ADJ.] to
[LOW]. (P73)
• Refer to P69 for the ISO sensitivity.
• Refer to P106 for the external flash.
• In the bounce flash
• Select a whitish ceiling with high
reflection ratio, otherwise, the color
or the pattern may be reflected to
the picture.
• The available flash range becomes
shorter than usual.
• When you select too high a ceiling,
the reflected light may not reach to
the subject.
• Using the flash for bounce flash at
a position other than specified
(about 65o) may cause a
malfunction.
• When you repeatedly take pictures
using the flash, recording may be
impossible if the flash is activated. Try
recording after the card access
indicator turns off.
