A flashing [ ] icon warns that images are more likely to be blurred 
by camera shake. In this case, mount the camera on a tripod or take 
other measures to keep it still.
If your shots are dark despite the flash firing, move closer to the
subject. For details on the flash range, see “Flash Range” (

you press the shutter button halfway. For details on the focusing 
range (shooting range), see “Shooting Range” (
To reduce red-eye and to assist in focusing, the lamp may be 
activated when shooting in low-light conditions.
