The available flash range
Edges of a picture may become slightly dark if using flash at short distances without using
zoom (close to max. Wide). This may be remedied by using a little zoom.
Max. Wide
Max. Tele
Approx. 0.6 m - 6.8 m (2.0 feet - 22 feet)
Approx. 1.0 m - 3.9 m (3.3 feet - 13 feet)
•These ranges are obtained, the ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO], and [ISO Auto Upper
Limit (Photo)] is set to [AUTO].
●
Avoid doing the following, as the heat or light could cause deformation or discolouration.
•Putting the flash close to objects
•Covering the flash with your hand as it is firing
•Closing the flash as it is firing
●
Do not close the flash immediately after the preliminary flash is operated prior to taking pictures for
Forced ON/Red-Eye Reduction and other flash settings. If you close the flash immediately, it will
cause a malfunction.
●
Flash charging may take time if battery is low or if using flash repeatedly. When the flash is being
charged, the flash icon flashes red, and you cannot take a picture even when you fully press the
shutter button.
