Recording pictures (basic)

∫ Shutter speed for each flash mode

¢ The shutter speed changes depending

on the slow shutter setting. (P64)

∫ When using the photo flash
• Do not stare at the photo flash from

close proximity when using the flash.

• If you bring the flash too close to the

subjects, they may appear distorted or
discoloured by its heat and lighting.

• Do not cover the photo flash with your

fingers or any other items.

• When you take a picture beyond the flash

control range, the exposure may not be
adjusted properly and the picture may
become bright or dark.

• When you repeat taking a picture,

recording may be disabled even if the
flash is activated. Take a picture after the
card access lamp disappears.

• When the jitter alert appears, we

recommend using the flash.

• When you set to burst mode or auto

bracket, only 1 picture is recorded for
every flash activated.

• The flash icon turns red when activating

the flash and pressing the shutter button
halfway.

• When the flash is being charged, the flash

icon blinks red, and you cannot take a
picture even when you press the shutter
button fully.

• While the flash is being charged in

economy mode, the LCD monitor is off.

• When taking a picture with the flash, the

white balance will be automatically
adjusted [except for [

] (Daylight)], but

the white balance may not be properly
adjusted if the photo flash is insufficient.

• When the shutter speed is fast, the flash

effect may not be sufficient.

• To avoid picture noise, we recommend

setting [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P65)

• Refer to P61 for the ISO sensitivity.
