These then are the useable f/stops . At fIB , the useable flash- to-subject distance range is from 0.6m (2ft) to 2m (6 .6ft). At f/4, the useable flash -to-subject distance

range is from 0.6 m (2 ft) to 4 m (13ft).

o The closest shooting distance for non· TTL automatic operation is O.6m (2ft) regardless of the fifm speed and whether or not the wide -flash adapter is being used.
