FLASH RANGE - AUTOMATIC OPERATION
The camera automatically controls the flash output. For well-exposed images, the subject
must be within the flash range. Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the
same at the lens’ wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position. The flash ranged
can be changed with camera sensitivity (ISO), see page 52.
FLASH SIGNALS
The indicator lamp next to the viewfinder indicates the status of
the flash. When the lamp is red and blinks quickly, the flash is
charging and the shutter will not release. When the lamp turns
green, the flash is charged and ready to fire.
Flash cancel - the flash will not fire. Use flash cancel when flash photography is
prohibited, natural light is desired to illuminate the subject, or the subject is beyond the
flash range. The camera-shake warning may appear when flash cancel is selected (p.
26).
Wide-angle position Telephoto position
0.15m ~ 3.2m (0.5 ft. ~ 10.5 ft.) 0.15m ~ 2.5m (0.5 ft. ~ 8.2 ft.)
Fill-flash - the flash fires with each exposure regardless of the amount of ambient light.
Fill-flash can be used to reduce harsh shadows caused by strong direct light or sunshine.
