near the end of the battery life.

62° (12m) from the camera. Subjects may appear too dark at greater distances.
c. Please note that when the Capture Number parameter is set higher than "1 Photo", or with
very short Interval settings, some images may appear darker than others due to the quick
response and rapid retriggering of the camera, allowing less time for the flash to fully recharge
before firing again.
