W). This may be remedied by using a little zoom.●If flash is to be emitted, flash type marks (e.g. ) will turn red when shutter button ispressed halfway.●No pictures may be taken if these marks (e.g. ) are flashing (flash is charging).●Insufficient flash reach may be due to inadequately set exposure or White Balance.●Flash effect may not be fully achieved with high shutter speeds.●Flash charging may take time if battery is low, or if using flash repeatedly.When you want to enlarge the subject, setting to [AF MACRO] ( ) enables you to takepictures at an even closer distance than the normal focus range (up to 3 cm (0.10 feet))for max.
