If a subject or background is dark, the camera flash will work
automatically and will reduce the red-eye effect by using the red-
eye reduction function.
The flash will operate in conjunction with a slow shutter speed in
order to obtain the correct exposure. We recommend using a
tripod for this function.
When you take an image in a condition with poor light, the camera
shake warning indicator ( ) will display on the LCD monitor.
The flash fires regardless of available light. The intensity of the
flash will be controlled, according to the prevailing conditions.
The brighter the background or subject is, the less intense the flash
will be.
The flash does not fire. Select this mode when capturing images in
a place or situation where flash photography is prohibited.
When you capture an image in a poorly lit condition, the camera
shake warning indicator ( ) will display on the LCD monitor.
Using the flash frequently will reduce the life of the batteries.
Under normal operating conditions the charging time for the flash is normally within 6
seconds. If the batteries are weak, the charging time will be longer.
During the movie clip mode, the flash function will not operate.
Take photographs within the flash range.
The image quality is not guaranteed if the subject is too close or highly reflective.
The LCD monitor is turned off for a while after using the flash to recharge it.
