● Shooting ● If the flash is used in macro mode, the light may not be controlled correctly. In this case, set a higher ISO sensitivity or use other lightings instead of using the flash. When shooting with a high ISO sensitivity and using the built-in flash, there is more of a chance of overexposure the closer you are to the subject. Please note that a slow shutter speed will be selected in dark places when the flash is set to off or slowsynchro. Be careful to avoid camera blur under these conditions. • Shooting in Mode Be careful to hold the camera still to avoid camera Shake. • Shooting in or / Mode Fix the camera to a tripod since the shutter speed will be slower than in the mode. If an image is dark in mode, reshooting in mode will make it brighter. The flash may take approximately 20 seconds to charge. The LCD monitor, if it is on, will go off after the indicator flashes orange while recharging. The LCD monitor will go back on after the indicator glows a 44 steady orange when recharging is completed. Recharging time may vary according to shooting conditions and battery charge levels. The flash fires twice. A preparatory pre-flash is followed by the main flash. The exposure readings obtained from the subject with the pre-flash are used to set the optimal flash intensity for the main flash, which is used to shoot the image. Red-Eye Reduction Light reflecting back from the eyes may appear red when the flash is used in dark places. Use the auto red-eye reduction* for these situations. For this mode to be effective, the subject must be looking right at the red-eye reduction lamp. Try asking them to look at the red-eye lamp. Even better results can be obtained by increasing the lighting in indoor settings or coming closer to the subject. *The shutter will not activate for approximately 1 second after the red-eye reduction lamp fires, even when the shutter button is pressed all the way down in order to improve the effect. If you want to have more immediate shutter response, set the flash setting to either , or .

If the flash is used in macro mode, the light may not be controlled correctly. In this case, set a higher ISO sensitivity or use other lightings instead of using the flash.
