HELP
• The green lamp will blink rapidly if the flash is currently charging. Take your finger off
the shutter release button and wait for the blink rate to slow down (or for the lamp to
go off), indicating that the camera is ready to shoot.
• Use of flash together with the macro feature (p.83) may result in streaking or partial
loss of image. If using flash and macro together, please review the results on the
monitor.
• The flash does not operate when you are shooting movies (p.126), sequences
(p.119), or panoramas (p.131).
• The distance over which the flash is effective changes when you use the zoom
lever (p.52).
