The available flash range
Edges of a picture may become slightly dark if using flash at short distances without using
zoom (close to max. Wide). This may be remedied by using a little zoom.
Approx. 0.5 m - 12.1 m (1.6 feet - 40 feet)
• These ranges are obtained, the ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO], and [ISO Limit Set] is
set to [OFF].
●
Avoid doing the following, as the heat or light could cause deformation or discolouration.
• Putting the flash close to objects
• Covering the flash with your hand as it is firing
• Closing the flash as it is firing
●
Do not close the flash immediately after the preliminary flash is operated prior to taking pictures for
Forced ON/Red-Eye Reduction and other flash settings. If you close the flash immediately, it will
cause a malfunction.
●
Flash charging may take time if battery is low or if using flash repeatedly. When the flash is being
charged, the flash icon flashes red, and you cannot take a picture even when you fully press the
shutter button.
