The available flash range to take
pictures
The available flash range to take pictures
depends on the ISO sensitivity selected
(P84).
• The available flash range is an
approximation.
• Refer to P29 for the focus range.
• Refer to P84 for the ISO sensitivity.
• If ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] or [
]
when using the flash, it will be
automatically increased to a maximum of
[ISO640].
• To avoid picture noise, we recommend
reducing the ISO sensitivity, setting
[NOISE REDUCTION] in [PICT.ADJ.] to
[HIGH] or setting the items except [NOISE
REDUCTION] to [LOW] to take pictures.
(P91)
• In motion picture mode [
i
] (P75),
[SCENERY] (P63), [NIGHT SCENERY]
(P64), [FIREWORKS] (P66), [STARRY
SKY] (P67), [AERIAL PHOTO] (P68) or
[HIGH SENS.] (P68) in scene mode, the
flash mode is fixed to Forced OFF [
v
]
even if the flash is open.
