∫The available flash range to take pictures

• The available flash range is an approximation.

	Wide	Tele
AUTO	30 cm (0.99 feet) to 5.3 m (17.4 feet)	50 cm (1.64 feet) to 3.0 m (9.84 feet)
ISO100	30 cm (0.99 feet) to 1.6 m (5.24 feet)	50 cm (1.64 feet) to 90 cm (2.95 feet)
ISO200	40 cm (1.32 feet) to 2.3 m (7.54 feet)	50 cm (1.64 feet) to 1.3 m (4.26 feet)
ISO400	60 cm (1.97 feet) to 3.3 m (10.8 feet)	50 cm (1.64 feet) to 1.9 m (6.23 feet)

ISO1600	1.15 m (3.77 feet) to 6.7 m (22.0 feet)	90 cm (2.95 feet) to 3.8 m (12.5 feet)

•In [HIGH SENS.] (P52) in scene mode, the ISO sensitivity automatically switches to between [ISO1600] and [ISO6400] and the available flash range also differs.

Wide:	Approx. 1.15 m (3.77 feet) to approx. 13.5 m (44.3 feet)
Tele:	Approx. 90 cm (2.95 feet) to approx. 7.7 m (25.3 feet)

Note

•If you bring the flash too close to an object, the object may be distorted or discolored by the heat or lighting from the flash.

•When you take a picture beyond the available flash range, the exposure may not be adjusted properly and the picture may become bright or dark.
