• When you take a picture beyond the 
available flash range, the exposure may 
not be adjusted properly and the picture 
may become bright or dark.
• The white balance may not be properly 
adjusted if the flash level is insufficient. 
(P68)
• If you repeat taking a picture, it may not 
actually be taken even if the flash is 
activated. 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 being charged, the flash 
icon blinks red, and you cannot take a 
picture even when you press the shutter 
button fully.
• When taking pictures in burst mode or 
auto bracket, only 1 picture is recorded for 
every flash activated.
• If you take pictures with the flash when 
the lens hood is attached, the flash 
may be obscured by the lens hood.
• When you attach an external flash, it takes 
priority over the built-in flash. Refer to 
P105 for the external flash.
Adjust the flash output when the subject is 
small or reflection ratio is extremely high or 
low.
