Using the flash with close-up
photography
Shooting a subject 1.5 meters (approx. 4.9 ft.)
from the camera or closer, could cause the
pictures to be too bright or cause dark shadows.
If you experience these problems with the
external flash, adjust flash intensity on the
external flash unit, or use only the built-in flash.
