Flash shooting (Cont.)
● The flash does not fire.
T Flash does not fire in the following situations:
When shooting a bright subject, in the movie record mode, during
super macro (P. 94) or sequential shooting (
*, , *, BKT)
(P. 99), when FUNCTION is set to WHITE BOARD/BLACK BOARD
(P. 110), during Panorama shooting (P. 105).
*Red-eye reduction flash ( ) and 1st curtain with red-eye reduction flash
( SLOW) are not available.
● The mark blinks (flash charge).
T The flash is charging. Remove your finger from the shutter button.
When the mark stops blinking, press it again.
● Camera movement warning (auto, red-eye reduction (
), fill-in( ))
When lights (camera movement warning), the shutter speed locks at its
current level. This helps prevent camera movement problems (shutter
speeds that are too slow can cause blur). However, if the zoom
magnification is increased, the camera will increase the locked shutter
speed accordingly.
