• The image comes out dark even if the flash fired when shooting?
The subject is too far away for the flash to reach. Shoot within the effective flash
range of approximately 50 cm – 3.0 m (1.6 – 9.8 ft.) at maximum wide angle,
and approximately 1.0 – 2.0 m (3.3 – 6.6 ft.) at maximum telephoto.
• The camera beeps once when the shutter button is pressed halfway?
Your subject is too close. When the camera is at maximum wide angle, move
about 2 cm (0.79 in.) or more away from your subject and shoot. Move about
1 m (3.3 ft.) or more away when the camera is at maximum telephoto.
