REC Mode/Recording Techniques
- Q26
- Sometimes I can see smoke coming from the camera's flash when I use the flash to shoot a picture?
- A26
- When the surface of the flash window is dirty, the dirt can react with the flash and generate a slight amount of smoke or odor. This does not indicate malfunction of the camera.
Carefully wipe the flash window periodically with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean. Leaving dirt or fingerprints on the flash window for too long will make it difficult to clean them off later.
