Is there anything I need to keep in mind when using the flash or other light-emitting functions?
A29
• Never use light emitting functions in areas where there is the chance of flammable or
explosive gas being present. Such conditions create the risk of fire and explosion.
• Never fire the flash or use light emitting functions pointed in the direction of a person
operating a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the driver's vision and create the
risk of accident.
• Never fire the flash or use light emitting functions pointed in the direction of and too close
a person's face. Doing so creates the risk of loss of eyesight. In the case of infants and
young children in particular, keep the light source at least one meter away the eyes.
• Take care that your fingers, gloves, or other items are not touching the flash window when
you shoot. Doing so can lead to burn injury, smoke, discoloration, or other problems.
• Do not fire the flash while the flash window is dirty, dusty, or soiled with foreign matter.
Doing so can lead to smoke emission and discoloration.
• Never fire the flash or use light emitting functions pointed in the direction of and too close
to an animal. Doing so can startle the animal, create the risk of loss of eyesight, and cause
other problems.
• Select "Flash Off" for the flash setting when shooting in areas where flash photograph is
prohibited, etc.
