9. Stabilizer, Zoom and Flash
Using the flash skillfully
• When recording with the flash, white saturation can occur if the subject is too close.
If [Highlight] of the [Custom] menu is set to [ON], regions of white saturation will blink black
and white when you play back or use Auto Review. In this case, we recommend that you
adjust [Flash Adjust.]
•
When taking pictures with flash with the lens hood attached, the lower portion of the photo
may turn dark and the control of the flash may be disabled because the photo flash may be
obscured by the lens hood. We recommend detaching the lens hood.
•
Be careful so that dust or sticky substances do not adhere to the flash. When this occurs, the
flash may not pop up smoothly or at all.
•
Do not bring the flash too close to objects or close the flash while it is activated. The objects
may be deformed or discolored by its heat or lighting.
•
Do not close the flash soon after the flash is activated prior to taking pictures due to Forced ON/
Red-Eye Reduction etc. It causes a malfunction.
•
It may take time to charge the flash if you repeatedly take pictures. You must wait a moment to
take the next picture while the flash icon is blinking red indicating the flash is charging.
•
When you attach an external flash, it takes priority over the built-in flash. Refer to
external flash.
