TIPS
The orange lamp or # (flash standby) indication blinks.
→ The flash is charging. Wait until the orange lamp or # lights
steadily.
Camera movement warning (Auto-flash, red-eye reduction flash,
fill-in flash)
→ When the orange lamp or # lights, the shutter speed locks at its
current level. This helps prevent camera shake 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.
• The flash does not fire in the following situations:
In the movie record mode, during auto bracketing, during
super-macro shooting and during Panorama shooting
• The flash may not give you the optimum result in macro mode,
especially with wide-angle shooting. Check the resulting picture on
the monitor.
• When a conversion lens is fitted to the camera, vignetting may
occur. To take flash pictures, use an external flash.
