Olympus C-4040 Zoom - Manual (Page 85)

Flash shooting (Cont.)
● If the flash dose not fire
T Flash does not fire in the following situations: When shooting a bright
subject, in the movie record mode, during Sequential shooting (P. 88),
when FUNCTION is set to WHITE BOARD/BLACK BOARD (P. 97),
during Panoramic shooting (P. 98).
● The orange lamp blinks.
T The flash is charging. Remove your finger from the shutter button.
When the lamp stops blinking, press it again.
● Camera movement warning (Auto, Red-eye reduction, Fill-in)
When the orange lamp lights, the shutter speed locks at its current level.
This helps prevent camera shake problems (shutter speeds that are too
slow can cause blur). However, if the zoom magnification is increased
while the orange lamp is lit, the camera will increase the locked shutter
speed accordingly.

W (max.): 1/30 sec., T (max.): 1/100 sec.
TIPS
● The flash may not give you the optimum result in Macro mode, especially
with wide-angle shooting. Check the result on the monitor. If a conversion
lens is attached to the lens, it may reduce the output of the flash.
