FLASH LAMP / FLASH RANGE
• When the orange flash-lamp blinks rapidly, the flash is charging. Wait
until it glows steadily, then take the picture.
• The flash takes approximately three seconds to charge.
• When the orange flash-lamp blinks slowly, your scene is too dark for a
hand-held picture. Use the flash, or place your camera on a tripod.
The range of the built-in flash depends on the film speed and the focal length you are using.
To ensure proper exposure, make sure your subject is positioned within the flash range.
Focal Length
Flash Range at ISO 200
30mm
0.5 - 9.0m (1.6 - 29.5 ft.)
120mm
1.6 - 4.0m (5.2 - 13.1 ft.)
USING THE BUILT-IN FLASH
When you turn the camera on, the built-in flash is set to autoflash or autoflash with red-
eye reduction, whichever mode was used last. The flash will fire automatically when the
light level is low or your subject is backlit.
