• The available flash range is an
approximation.
• Refer to P66 for the ISO sensitivity.
• Refer to P25 for the focus range.
• If ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] when
using the flash, it will be automatically
increased to a maximum of [ISO400].
• To avoid noise, we recommend
decreasing the ISO sensitivity (P66) or
setting [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P71)
• If you take a picture with the flash at close
range when the zoom is near [W] (1 ),
the edges of the recorded picture may
become dark. Rotate the zoom lever
slightly and then take the picture.
