Note
• If you bring the ash too close to an object, the object may be distorted or discoloured
by the heat or lighting from the ash.
• When you take a picture beyond the available ash range, the exposure may not be
adjusted properly and the picture may become bright or dark.
• When the ash is being charged, the ash icon blinks red, and you cannot take a picture
even when you press the shutter button fully.
• The white balance may not be properly adjusted if the ash level is insufcient for the
subject.
• When the shutter speed is fast, the ash effect may not be sufcient.
• It may take time to charge the ash if you repeat taking a picture. Take a picture after the
access indication disappears.
• The Red-Eye Reduction effect differs between people. Also, if the subject was far away
from the camera or was not looking at the rst ash, the effect may not be evident.
