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 using ‘AUTO LCD OFF’ (P.24), LCD monitor is shut off while flash is charging.Applications(Record) 2 Taking pictures with flash
