T The flash is charging. Remove your finger from the shutter button. When the mark stops blinking, press it again. ● Camera movement warning (auto, red-eye reduction, fill-in) When the orange lamp or (camera shake warning) lights, the shutter speed locks at its current level. This helps prevent camera movement problems (shutter speeds that are too slow can cause blur). However, if the zoom magnification is increased, the camera will increase the locked shutter speed accordingly. Zoom position & shutter speed W (max.): 1/30 sec., T (max.): 1/100 sec. Note ● The flash may not give you the optimum result in macro mode, especially with wide-angle shooting. Check the image on the monitor. ● If a conversion lens is attached to the camera, the flash is disabled. 80
