followed, including the following:
• Read and understand all instructions before using.
• Close supervision is necessary when any flash is used by or near children. Do not leave
flash unattended while
in
use.
• Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
• Do not operate if the flash has been dropped or damaged -until it has been examined by
qualified service personnel.
• Let flash cool completely before putting away.
•
To
reduce the risk
of
electric shock, do not immerse this flash
in
water or other liquids.
•
To
reduce the risk
of
electric shock, do not disassemble this flash, but take it to qualified
service personnel when service or repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly can
cause electric shock when the flash is used subsequently.

Cautions
Displayed during Recording time
recording
• When using a camera with a CMOS image sensor, moving objects may appear distorted
due to the rolling shutter phenomenon. This
is
a physical phenomenon whereby distortion
occurs
in
the filmed image when shooting a fast-moving subject or due to camera shaking.
In
particular, this phenomenon becomes more noticeable when using a long focal length.
• Ifthe camera is used for extended periods, the temperature
of
the image pickup device
will rise and noise and colored fog may appear
in
images. Turn off the camera for a short
time. Noise and colored fog may also appear
in
images recorded at high ISO sensitivity
settings. Ifthe temperature rises further, the camera will turn off automatically.
• When using a Four Thirds system lens, the AF will not operate while recording movies.
•
Taking
photographs
during
movie
recording
• Press the shutter button during movie recording to pause movie recording and take a
photograph. Movie recording restarts after the photograph is taken. Press the ® button
to end recording. Three files will be recorded to the memory card: the movie footage
preceding the photograph, the photograph itself, and the movie footage following the
photograph.
• Only one photograph can be taken at a time during movie recording; the self-timer and
flash cannot
be
used.
(])
Cautions
• Image size and quality for photographs are independent of movie frame size.
• The autofocus and metering used
in
movie mode may differ from that used to take
photographs.
• The
®
button cannot be used to record movies
in
the following instances:
Multiple exposure (still photography also ends.)/shutter button pressed halfway/during
bulb or time photography/sequential shooting/Panorama/SCN mode (e-Portrait, Hand-
Held Starlight, 30)/time lapse shooting
