or faster to 1/500.
≥
Using the Flash is not possible during the
Continuous Photoshot recording, the MagicPix
Function and the MPEG4 Recording.
≥
The picture may become out of focus in a dark
place. In this case, adjust the focus manually.

the Flash can be lit. (When flashing, the Flash is
charging.)
≥
Charging the Flash takes 4 seconds maximum
after lit.
≥
In the following cases, using the Flash is not
possible:
≥
