Do not put your hands over the light-emitting area of the flash (→12) or look at it
from close range.
Do not use the flash at close distances to other subjects (heat/light may
damage subject).
The effect of red-eye reduction varies depending on the subject and is affected by
factors such as distance to the subject, whether the subject is looking at the camera
during preliminary flash, and so on. In some cases, the effect of red-eye reduction
may be negligible.
Flash settings may be changed when changing Recording Mode.
Scene Mode flash settings are restored to default when Scene Mode is changed.
Edges of picture may become slightly dark if using flash at short distances without
using zoom (close to max. W). This may be remedied by using a little zoom.
No pictures may be taken if these marks (e.g. [ ] ([Auto])) are flashing (flash is
charging).
If light from the flash on a subject is insufficient, neither the proper exposure nor White
Balance is achieved.
The flash effect may not be sufficient in the following cases:
• When the shutter speed is fast
• When [Burst] is set to [ ] ([Flash Burst])
Flash charging may take time if battery is low or if using flash repeatedly.
