To reduce these reflections, set the flash to W (Off). C The Flash Lamp The flash lamp indicates flash status when the shutterrelease button is pressed halfway. • On: Flash will fire when picture is taken. • Blinks: Flash charging. Wait a few seconds and try again. • Off: Flash will not fire when picture is taken. If the remaining battery level is low, the monitor will turn off until the flash has finished charging.

Use flash modes other than auto with red-eye reduction in above cases. 31
