� 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. � Do not cover the photo flash with your fingers or other objects. � In economy mode, the LCD monitor turns off and the status indicator blinks while the flash is charged. [This does not happen when using the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5; optional).] If the remaining battery power is low, the length of time that the LCD monitor turns off to charge may become longer. � If you press the shutter button halfway when the flash is activated, the flash icon turns red. � When the jitter alert appears, we recommend using a tripod. � 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. � When the flash is being charged, the flash icon blinks red, and you cannot take a picture even when you press the shutter button fully. � When taking a picture with the flash, the white balance is automatically adjusted [except for [ ] (Daylight)]. However, the white balance may not be properly adjusted if the flash level is insufficient. (P63) � When the shutter speed is fast, the flash effect may not be sufficient. � If you repeat taking a picture, it may not actually be taken even if the flash is activated. 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 you set burst mode or auto bracket, only 1 picture is recorded for every flash activated.
