  2. Press the shutter button fully down.

When you do not use the flash

When not using the flash, press it back into the camera body.

Note

  • When not using the flash, press it back into the camera body.
  • You cannot use the flash when recording movies.
  • If you let the flash strobe when it has not fully risen, a malfunction may occur.
  • When using the flash to take self portraits, be careful not to look directly into the flash as the flash strobes at close range.
  • When shooting with the flash and the zoom is set to W, the shadow of the lens may appear on the screen, depending on the shooting conditions. If this happens, move away from the subject or set the zoom to T, and shoot with the flash again.
