CAUTION Notes on using flash
• If pressing the shutter button while the flash is charging 
(indicator lamp blinking orange), the picture will be 
taken without the flash (when using AUTO and b).
• The flash charging time may increase when the 
batteries are low on charge.
• When taking a picture using the flash, the image may 
disappear and go dark briefly due to flash charging. The 
indicator lamp blinks orange during charging.
• The flash fires several times (pre-flashes and the main 
flash). Do not move the camera until the picture is 
taken.
