subject, such as a moving car or a walking person.
(Wireless)
When you use a wireless flash (sold separately), the flash gives the subject more
shadow and provides a better stereoscopic effect than when attaching a flash to the
camera.

The flash pops up.
Flash does not operate when the flash is not raised.
When “White circular spots” appear in flash photos
These spots are caused by particles (dust, pollen, etc.) floating close to the lens. When they are
accentuated by the camera’s flash, they appear as white circular spots.
How can the “White circular spots” be reduced?
Light the room and shoot the subject without flash.
Notes
The flash strobes twice. The first flash adjusts the light quantity.
While charging the flash,
flashes. After charging is completed, the flashing icon will light up.
