Information

The flash distances when shooting with the built-in flash according to the ISO sensitivity/
aperture value settings are as follows.

Lenses in the range of 14 mm to 150 mm can be used with the built-in flash. The following
lenses, however, may interfere with the light emitted by the built-in flash and, therefore, may
limit the focal distance and shooting range.

• The shooting ranges above are for when the lens hood is not mounted.
• The flash control may not function properly when macro shooting with the built-in flash at a

range closer than 0.5 m (1.6 ft).
