RECORDING

E-57

Flash Indicator

When you press the shutter button half way, the flash icon

appears on the monitor screen and the Flash lamp light (am-

ber) to indicate that the flash will fire when the shutter button

is pressed the rest of the way down.

IMPORTANT!

• Never use the flash in areas where combustible or ex-

plosive gas is present. Doing so creates the danger of

fire and explosion.

• Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operat-

ing a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the

driver’s vision and create the danger of accident.

• Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s

eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye dam-

age if it is fired too close to the eyes, especially with

young children. When using the flash, the camera

should be at least one meter from the eyes of the sub-

ject.

• Make sure that you do not touch or block the flash or

exposure sensor with your fingers. Doing so can soil

these components and interfere with correct flash op-

eration.

Exposure sensor

Flash

• Flash should be used for distances within the range of

about 0.7 meters (2.3´) to 3 meters (9.8´) (values with

fully open aperture). Flash does not work well outside

these ranges.

• Depending on operating conditions (type of batteries

being used, temperature, etc.), it may take up to 40

seconds for the flash unit to charge.

• The flash is disabled during movie and continuous re-

cording, which is indicated by the flash icon appearing

on the monitor screen.

• The flash unit does not charge when battery power is

low. The indicator appears to warn you that the

flash will not fire correctly, 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 cam-

era is not pointed directly at the subject or when the

subject is far from the camera.

• In the Red-eye Reduction Mode, the flash is fired au-

tomatically in accordance with exposure. Because of

this, the flash does not fire in a well-lit area.

• In the Manual Mode (M Mode), the flash does not fire if

Auto Mode or Red-eye Reduction Mode is currently

selected as the flash mode.

• White balance is fixed while the flash is being used, so

the coloring of the recorded image may be affected by

sunlight, fluorescent lighting, or other sources of illu-

mination in the immediate area.
