●
Do not touch or look at the flash (→7) from close distances (i.e. a few cm).
Do not use the flash at close distances to other subjects (heat/light may damage subject).
●
Flash settings may be changed when changing Recording Mode.
●
When [ ] is set in [SENSITIVITY], the ISO sensitivity is automatically set in a
range up to 1600.
●
Scene Mode flash settings are restored to default when Scene Mode is changed.
●
If flash is to be emitted, flash type marks (e.g. ) will turn red when shutter button is pressed halfway.
●
No pictures may be taken if these marks (e.g. ) are flashing (flash is charging).
●
Insufficient flash reach may be due to inadequately set exposure or White Balance.
●
Flash effect may not be fully achieved with high shutter speeds.
●
Flash charging may take time if battery is low, or if using flash repeatedly.
When you want to enlarge the subject, setting to [AF MACRO] (
) enables you to take
pictures at an even closer distance than the normal focus range (up to 10 cm (0.33 feet)
for max. W).
