Flash Range; Attaching A Minolta Accessory Flash (Sold Separately) - Minolta DIMAGE 5 Instruction Manual

FLASH RANGE

For correct flash exposures, the subject must be within the flash range. The flash range
can be extended by changing the camera sensitivity (p. 40). When the camera
sensitivity is set to auto, the ISO is set at 200. The flash range is measured from the
CCD. Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens' wide-
angle position as it is at the telephoto position.
ISO setting Flash range (wide angle)
AUTO 0.5m ~ 3.8m (1.6 ft. ~ 12.5 ft.)
100 0.5m ~ 2.7m (1.6 ft. ~ 8.8 ft.)
200 0.5m ~ 3.8m (1.6 ft. ~ 12.5 ft.)
400 0.5m ~ 5.4m (1.6 ft. ~ 17.6 ft.)
800 0.5m ~ 7.6m (1.6 ft. ~ 25 ft.)
ATTACHING A MINOLTA ACCESSORY FLASH UNIT
To extend the versatility of the camera, an accessory flash unit (sold separately) can be
mounted on the camera. See page 138 for a list of compatible flash units.
Slide the accessory-shoe cap off as shown.
Mount the flash unit on the accessory shoe by
sliding it forward until it stops.
• Always remove the accessory flash when the
camera is not in use. Replace the accessory-shoe
