Tips on flash shooting
• The lens hood may block the light of flash. Remove the lens hood when using a flash.
• When using a flash, shoot the subject at a distance of 1 m (3.3 feet) or greater.
• When shooting a backlit subject, select [Fill-flash]. A flash will operate even in bright
daylight, and make faces come out brighter.
