If you press the shutter button after selecting the fl ash, the fi rst
fl ash fi res to check the shooting condition (Flash range and
Power ratio of fl ash). Do not move the camera until the second
fl ash fi res.
Using the fl ash frequently will reduce the life of the battery.
Under normal operating conditions the re-charging time for
the fl ash is usually within 4 seconds. If the battery is weak, the
charging time will be longer.
In the DIS mode, [Landscape], [Close up], [Text], [Sunset],
[Dawn], [Firework] scene modes and the Movie clip mode, the
fl ash function will not operate.
Take photographs within the fl ash range.
The image quality is not guaranteed if the subject is too close
or highly refl ective.
When taking an image in poorly lit conditions with the fl ash,
there may be a white speck in the captured image. The speck
is caused by the fl ash light refl ecting off atmospheric dust.
