SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
Flash Precautions
• The desired effect may not be obtained when the subject is 
too far away or too close.
• Flash charging time depends on operating conditions (battery 
condition, ambient temperature, etc.) With a fully charged 
battery, it takes anywhere from a few seconds to 5 seconds.
• Shooting with flash turned off when lighting is dim results in a 
slow shutter speed, which can cause image blur due to hand 
movement. Secure the camera with a tripod, etc.
• With red eye reduction, the flash is fired automatically in 
accordance with exposure. It does not fire in areas where 
lighting is bright.
• The presence of outdoor sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or 
some other light source can cause abnormal image colors.
With the self-timer, pressing the shutter button starts a timer, 
and the shutter is released and the image is shot after a fixed 
amount of time.
