Konica Minolta Complete Guide to Flash Features on the DiMAGE G600

Page 29

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.

Camera Notes

The slow-sync. option in the recording menu specifies the minimum shutter speed used with a particular flash mode to control camera shake. See page 48 for more information. The custom option in the setup menu (p. 77) allows the available flash modes to be edited.

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 51.

Wide-angle position

Telephoto position

0.5m ~ 3.0m ( 1.6ft ~ 9.8ft)

0.8m ~ 1.7m ( 2.6ft ~ 5.6ft)

FLASH SIGNALS

The red indicator lamp next to the viewfinder indicates the status of the flash. When the lamp glows, the flash is charging and will be used in the exposure.
