    * Red-eye removal is available in these modes when Intelligent Face Detection is active and red-eye removal is on. Red-eye removal minimizes "red-eye" caused when light from the flash is reflected from the subject’s retinas.

The flash may contact accessories mounted on the hot shoe. If necessary, remove accessories before raising the flash.

If p is displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway, the flash will fire when the photo is taken.

Except in commander mode, the flash may fire several times with each shot. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.

The flash will synchronize with the shutter at shutter speeds of 1/180 s or slower.

Optional Flash Units from Fujifilm

The camera can be used with optional Fujifilm shoe-mounted flash units.

Third-Party Flash Units

Do not use third-party flash units that apply over 300 V to the camera hot shoe.
