Flash • You may not be able to achieve the desired results using the flash if the subject is too close or too far away. • The flash takes anywhere from a few seconds to as long as 10 seconds to attain full charge after being fired. The actual time required depends on the battery level, temperature, and other conditions. • The flash does not fire in the modes listed below. The (Flash Off) icon on the monitor screen indicates that flash is turned off. Movie mode, Short Movie mode, Past Movie mode, MOVIE BEST SHOT mode • The flash unit may not be able to charge when camera battery power is low. If this happens, the flash will not fire properly and you will not be able to obtain the desired exposure. Be sure to charge the camera's battery as soon as possible when power goes low. • When the flash is turned off ( ), mount the camera on a tripod to record images in an area where available lighting is dim. Recording images under dim lighting without the flash can cause digital noise, which makes images appear coarse. • When red-eye reduction ( ) is selected, flash intensity is adjusted automatically in accordance with the exposure. The flash may not fire at all when the subject is brightly lit. • Using flash in combination with another light source (daylight, fluorescent light, etc.) can result in abnormal image colors. 68
