backdrop. To prevent camera shake, always use a tripod.
Using n synchronizes Red-eye reduction mode.
Using 8 selects slow shutter speeds of up to 3 seconds.
CAUTION
In bright scenes, overexposure may occur.

Wide-angle:
Approx. 50 cm to 4.0 m (1.6 ft. to 13.1 ft.)
Telephoto:

If you take pictures outside of the effective flash range,
the image may appear dark even if the flash is used.
CAUTION Notes on using flash
• If pressing the shutter button while the flash is charging
(indicator lamp blinking orange), the picture will be
taken without the flash (when using [AUTO] and b).
• The flash charging time may increase when the
batteries are low on charge.
• When taking a picture using the flash, the image may
disappear and go dark briefly due to flash charging. The
indicator lamp blinks orange during charging.
• The flash fires several times (pre-flashes and the main
flash). Do not move the camera until the picture is
taken.
