Notes
� The recommended shooting distance is 0.6 to 2.5 m (23 5/8 inches to 8 1/3 feet). � Attaching a conversion lens (not supplied) may block the light from the flash and the recorded image may be eclipsed. � You cannot use the built-in flash and an external strobe at the same time. � The indicator appears when the flash is not popped up under situations that you should use the flash. � Auto red-eye reduction may not produce the desired red-eye reduction effects depending on individual differences, the distance to the subject, if the subject does not see the pre-strobe, or other conditions. In addition, red-eye reduction effects are also difficult to obtain if you select a slow shutter speed in shutter priority mode of the PROGRAM AE function. � The flash effect is not obtained easily when you use forced flash in a bright location.
