The effect of Red-Eye Reduction varies depending on the subject and is affected by 
factors such as distance to the subject, whether the subject is looking at the camera 
during preliminary flash, and so on. In some cases, the effect of Red-Eye Reduction 
may be negligible.

●

Do not put your hands over the light-emitting area of the flash (→8) or look at it 
from close range (a few centimeters away).
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. 

 

●

No pictures may be taken if these marks (e.g.

●

Insufficient light may prevent appropriate exposure or White Balance.

Flash charging may take time if battery is low, or if using flash repeatedly.
