• 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.

• When the flash is activated, you can only

take 1 picture.
