Precautions when Using Flash
• Make sure that you do not touch or block the flash or the
exposure sensor with your fingers. Doing so can soil these
components and interfere with correct flash operation.
• Flash is best used for distances within the range of about
0.5 meters to 3 meters (1.6´ to 9.8´) (fully open aperture).
Flash does not work well outside this range.
• Depending on operating conditions (type of batteries being
used, temperature, etc. ), it may take up to 40 seconds for
the flash unit to charge.
• Flash is disabled in the Continuous Mode, AEB Mode, and
Movie Mode. Disabled flash is indicated by (Flash Off)
on the monitor screen (pages 88, 89, 93).
• The flash unit does not charge when battery power is too
low to charge the flash. The (Flash Off) indicator ap-
pears in order to warn you that the flash will not fire cor-
rectly, which may affect exposure of the image. Replace
batteries as soon as possible when this happens.
• Red-eye reduction may not work well when the camera
is not pointed directly at the subject or when the subject is
far from the camera.
• White balance is fixed while the flash is being used, so sun-
light, fluorescent lighting, or other sources of illumination in
the immediate area may affect the coloring of the recorded
image.
