Turning The Flash On - Canon PowerShot SX130 IS User Manual

Turning the Flash On

You can make the flash fire every time you shoot. The effective flash range is
approximately 50 cm – 3.0 m (1.6 – 9.8 ft.) at maximum wide angle (j), and
approximately 1.0 – 2.0 m (3.3 – 6.6 ft.) at maximum telephoto (i).
What if the setting screen does not appear even when you press r?
The flash is lowered. Raise the flash manually.
Changing the Focusing Range (Macro)
When it is difficult to focus because your shot contains subjects that are near,
you can change the focusing range to focus more reliably.
