• 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.
• The red-eye reduction effect differs 
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.

on the subject.
