Flash Range And Camera Sensitivity; Attaching An Accessory Flash Unit - Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 Instruction Manual

FLASH RANGE AND CAMERA SENSITIVITY

For correct flash exposures, the subject must be within the flash range. The flash range
can be extended by changing the camera sensitivity. When the camera sensitivity is set
to auto, the ISO is set between ISO 50 and 200.
The flash range is measured from the CCD. Because of the optical system, the flash
range is not the same at the lens' wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position.
ISO setting Flash range (wide angle)
50 0.5m ~ 1.9m / 1.6 ft. ~ 6.2 ft.
100 0.5m ~ 2.7m / 1.6 ft. ~ 8.9 ft.
200 / AUTO 0.5m ~ 3.8m / 1.6 ft. ~ 12.5 ft.
400 0.5m ~ 5.4m / 1.6 ft. ~ 17.7 ft.
800 0.5m ~ 7.6m / 1.6 ft. ~ 24.9 ft.

ATTACHING AN ACCESSORY FLASH UNIT

To extend the versatility of the camera, an accessory flash unit (sold separately) can be
used. Always remove the accessory flash when the camera is not in use, and replace the
accessory-shoe cap to protect the contacts.
Slide the accessory-shoe cap off as shown.
Mount the flash unit on the accessory shoe by
sliding it forward until it stops.
