To avoid noises, decrease the ISO sensitivity. • Do not stare at the photo flash from close proximity (a few centimeters from the camera) when using the flash. • If you bring the flash too close to the subjects, they may be distorted or discolored by its heat and lighting. • Do not cover the photo flash with your fingers or any other items. • If the subject is too close when using the flash, the picture may be over exposed. • When the jitter alert appears, we recommend using the flash. • When you set to burst mode or auto bracket, only 1 picture is recorded for every flash activated. 39
