  Do not use the flash at close distances to other subjects (heat/light may damage subject).
 Flash settings may be changed when changing recording mode.
 Scene mode flash settings are restored to default when scene mode is changed.
 Edges of picture may become slightly dark if using flash at short distances without using 
zoom (close to max. W). This may be remedied by using a little zoom. 
 If flash is to be emitted, flash type marks (e.g. 
) will turn red when shutter button is 
pressed halfway.
 No pictures may be taken if these marks (e.g. 
) are flashing (flash is charging).
 Insufficient flash reach may be due to inadequately set exposure or white balance.
 Flash effect may not be fully achieved with high shutter speeds.
 Flash charging may take time if battery is low, or if using flash repeatedly.
When you want to enlarge the subject, setting to ‘AF MACRO (
)’ enables you to take 
images at an even closer distance than the normal focus range (up to 3 cm for max. W).

 ‘TELE MACRO’ function
Useful for taking close-up pictures of, for example, birds that may fly away if approached, 
or to blur background and emphasize subject.
‘TELE MACRO’ operates automatically when optical or extended zoom optical 
ratios are close to the maximum T setting (10x or above for optical zoom). The 
focus can be aligned for distances as close as 1m.
Turn to 
max. T

 Digital zoom may also be used.
  This function also operates when taking pictures in 
the following scene modes. 
   ‘FOOD’, ‘CANDLE LIGHT’, ‘BABY’, ‘HIGH SENS.’, 
‘UNDERWATER’, ‘PET’, ‘HI-SPEED BURST’, 
‘FLASH BURST’, ‘PIN HOLE’, ‘FILM GRAIN’
 Focus may take time to align for 
subjects over 50 cm away.
 When  using 
 (INTELLIGENT 
AUTO mode), macro recording 
can be activated by just pointing 
the camera at subject.
