A dvanced (Recording pictures)
• Do not look directly at the flash at
close range when it is activated.
• If you bring the flash too close to an
object, the object may be distorted or
discolored by the heat or lighting from
the flash.
• While the flash is charged, the screen
turns off and you cannot take pictures.
The status indicator lights. [Except
when using the AC adaptor
(DMW-AC6PP; optional).]
If the remaining battery power is low,
the screen may be turned off for a
longer period of time.
• When you take a picture beyond the
available flash range, the exposure may
not be adjusted properly and the picture
may become bright or dark.
• The white balance may net be properly
adjusted if the flash level is insufficient for
the subject. (PS0)
• When the shutter speed is fast, the flash
effect may not be sufficient.
• It may take time to charge the flash if you
repeat taking a picture. Take a picture
after the access indication disappears.
• The red-eye reduction effect differs
between people. Also, if the subject was
far away from the camera or was not
looking at the first flash, the effect may not
be evident.
• When the flash is activated, you can only
take 1 picture.
