Konica Minolta G530 instruction manual Flash Range Automatic Operation, Flash Signals

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 range can be changed with camera sensitivity (ISO), see page 47.

Wide-angle position	Telephoto position
0.5m ~ 3.0m ( 1.6ft ~ 9.8ft)	0.8m ~ 1.7m ( 2.6ft ~ 5.6ft)

FLASH SIGNALS

The monitor flash signal indicates the status of the flash. When the signal appears, the flash will be used in the exposure.

When using flash cancel, the flash signal and viewfinder indicator lamp blink to warn of camera shake caused by long exposures. Camera shake is slight blurring caused by

subtle hand motion and is more pronounced at the lens’

telephoto position than at the wide-angle position. Although

the warning appears, the shutter can be released. If the Flash signal warning appears, place the camera on a tripod or use the

flash. The warning is not used with manual exposure.
