synchro 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 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.
