 1 When [i.AUTO] is set
• In both Auto Scene Mode and Scene Mode, the shutter speed changes depending on the
identified scene.
Note
• Do not bring the flash too close to objects or close the flash while it is activated. The objects
may be discolored by its heat or lighting.
• When you take a picture beyond the available flash range, the exposure may not be adjusted
properly and the picture may become bright or dark.
• 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.
• It may take time to charge the flash if you repeat taking a picture. Take a picture after the
access indication disappears.
• The red-eye reduction effect differs between people. Also, if the subject was far away from the
camera or was not looking at the first flash, the effect may not be evident.
