Turning Off/On the 
recording indicator

• Although the flash range differs 

according to the subject, as a 
reference, its range is about 3.2–
8.2 feet (1–2.5 m) in dark places. 

• Although the amount of light 

emitted will automatically be 
adjusted at time of emission, the 
flash may not be sufficiently 
adjusted if the distance to the 
subject is too distant or too near. 

• In bright or backlit conditions, it 

may be difficult to derive the full 
effect of the flash.

• When recording consecutive 

shots using the flash, the flash 
may not fire or the amount of 
light emitted may not be 
sufficiently adjusted. After using 
the flash to record, it is 
recommended that you wait for a 
while and then press PHOTO to 
record again. 

• Do not emit the flash close up in 

front of a person’s eyes. Doing so 
may cause eyesight damage. 
Particularly when recording 
infants using the flash, record at a 
distance greater than 3.2 feet (1 
m) away. 

• Do not fire the flash at the driver/

rider of a moving vehicle or 
bicycle, etc. Doing so will 
temporary blind the driver and 
may result in accident.

• Do not use the flash in locations 

where flammable or combustible 
gas is present. Doing so may 
cause the gas to ignite or explode.

lens lights red while recording to
