up gently.

■ When you lift up the built-in flash, it will start charging. While the built-in flash is
charging, the
mark is not visible, but when the flash is sufficiently charged,
the indicator in viewfinder and on the LCD panel, will show
mark.
■ During the charging, the shutter cannot be released.
■ After you finish using the built-in flash, close the flash head by pressing the top
part of the flash down.

become warm. This is normal and not a defect.
CAUTION !!
• The lens hood may intrude into the light path of the built-in flash unit, resulting
in a shadow at the bottom of the picture. (The same phenomenon is possible
with a lens, which has a large front lens and long length) Either remove the
lens hood, or use an external Sigma dedicated flash.
• To prevent overheating and protect the built-in flash unit after using continous
shooting with flash, please do not use your flash for a while,.
