Note:
When the green lamp is blinking, it means the flash is being recharged. The shutter won’t release while the flash is recharging, so remove
your finger from the shutter release button and wait for several seconds.
The Red-Eye Reducing Flash mode is not canceled when the power is turned off. If any other mode is set, the camera returns to the Auto-
Flash mode.
