ment appears in front of the moving object (creating the im-

pression that the object is moving backwards).

Rear-curtain sync causes the flash to fire immediately before

the shutter closes. In this case, the blur created by move-

ment appears behind the moving object (creating the im-

pression that the object is moving forward).

OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

Precautions when Using Flash

• Make sure that you do not touch or block the flash or the

exposure sensor with your fingers. Doing so can soil these

components and interfere with correct flash operation.

• Flash is best used for distances within the range of about

0.5 meters to 3 meters (1.6´ to 9.8´) (fully open aperture).

Flash does not work well outside this range.

• Depending on operating conditions (type of batteries being

used, temperature, etc. ), it may take up to 40 seconds for

the flash unit to charge.

• Flash is disabled in the Continuous Mode, AEB Mode, and

Movie Mode. Disabled flash is indicated by (Flash Off)

on the monitor screen (pages 88, 89, 93).

• The flash unit does not charge when battery power is too

low to charge the flash. The (Flash Off) indicator ap-

pears in order to warn you that the flash will not fire cor-

rectly, which may affect exposure of the image. Replace

batteries as soon as possible when this happens.

• Red-eye reduction may not work well when the camera

is not pointed directly at the subject or when the subject is

far from the camera.

• White balance is fixed while the flash is being used, so sun-

light, fluorescent lighting, or other sources of illumination in

the immediate area may affect the coloring of the recorded

image.
