Turning The Flash On; Changing The Focus Range (Macro) - Canon PowerShot SX210 IS Getting Started

Turning the Flash On

You can make the flash fire every time you shoot. At maximum wide angle,
the flash range is approximately 75 cm – 3.5 m (2.5 – 11.5 ft.), and at
maximum telephoto, it is 1.0 – 2.0 m (3.3 – 6.6 ft.)
The setting screen does not appear even when you press r.
The flash is lowered. Raise the flash manually.

Changing the Focus Range (Macro)

When it is difficult to focus because your shot contains subjects that are both
near and far, you can change the focus range (the distance range from your
subject) to focus more reliably.
