• When the shutter speed is fast, the flash
effect may not be sufficient.
• It may take time to charge the flash if you
repeat taking a picture. Take a picture
after the access indication disappears.

between people. Also, if the subject was
far away from the camera or was not
looking at the first flash, the effect may not
be evident.
• When the flash is activated, you can only
take 1 picture.
