If you attempt to use the flash closer than the ranges described above, the entire picture may be too
bright, or shadows may appear in parts of the picture. If you attempt to use the flash farther than the
ranges described above, the light from the flash will not reach the subject and the subject will
appear dark. You may be able to take a picture farther than these ranges by increasing the ISO
value, but raising the ISO value could cause the picture to appear grainy. With ISO set for AUTO, the
ISO value will be adjusted automatically within the range of 80 - 160. (

When the flash is not required
When you do not want to use the flash, for
example when photographing subjects as a
sunset or night scene, shooting a subject that
the flash will not reach, or shooting a subject in
a location where flash photography is not
allowed (such as in a museum), just press down
the built-in flash to close it. If an external flash
unit is connected to the camera, switch it off or
remove it. (Some external flash units may
require removal and others may not; you can
just switch them off.)
