Minimum range
The lens may cast shadows over objects close to
the camera, causing vignetting, or be too bright
even at minimum output.
• External À ash units can be used to prevent vignetting. To prevent photographs from being
overexposed, select mode A or M and choose a high f-number, or reduce ISO sensitivity.
