* The shutter speed is 1/250 seconds when using a separately sold external
fl
ash.
Minimum range
The lens may cast shadows over
objects close to the camera,
causing vignetting, or the
fl
ash
may be too bright even at
minimum output.
Lens
Approximate distance at
which vignetting occurs
ED 12-40mm f2.8 PRO
0.6 m

0.6 m
• External
fl
ash units can be used to prevent vignetting. To prevent photographs from being
overexposed, select
A
or
M
mode, and choose a high aperture value or reduce ISO
sensitivity.
