Note
•
If you bring the flash too close to an object, the object may be distorted or discoloured by the
heat or lighting from the flash.
•
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.
•
When the flash is being charged, the flash icon blinks red, and you cannot take a picture even
when you press the shutter button fully.
•
The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for the subject.
•
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.
