Notes on using flash
• If pressing the shutter button while the flash is charging
(viewfinder lamp blinking orange), the picture will be
taken without the flash (when using AUTO or b).
• The flash charging time may increase when the batteries
are low on charge.
• When taking a picture using the flash, the image may
disappear and go dark briefly due to flash charging. The
viewfinder lamp blinks orange during charging.
• The flash fires several times (pre-flashes and the main
flash). Do not move the camera until the picture is taken.
