ŶThe available flash range when [Sensitivity] setting is [AUTO]

W side (Max.)

Approx. 60 cm (1.97 feet) - 5.0 m (16.4 feet)

T side (Max.)

Approx. 1.0 m (3.28 feet) - 2.8 m (9.18 feet)

•, , , : 1/603 - 1/4000th

•, : 13,4 - 1/4000th

3 Varies according to [Min. Shtr Speed] setting.

4 When [Min. Shtr Speed] is set to [AUTO], and a jitter is detected when [Stabilizer] is turned to [ON], the maximum speed is 1/4 second. Also varies according to [Intelligent Auto] Mode, [Scene Mode], zoom position.

ƔThe effect of Red-Eye Reduction varies depending on the subject and is affected by factors such as distance to the subject, whether the subject is looking at the camera during preliminary flash, and so on. In some cases, the effect of Red-Eye Reduction may be negligible.

ƔDo not put your hands over the light-emitting area of the flash ( 8) or look at it from close range (a few centimeters away).

Do not use the flash at close distances to other subjects (heat/light may damage subject).

ƔFlash settings may be changed when changing Recording Mode.

ƔScene Mode flash settings are restored to default when Scene Mode is changed. ƔEdges of picture may become slightly dark if using flash at short distances without

using zoom (close to max. W). This may be remedied by using a little zoom.

ƔNo pictures may be taken if these marks (e.g. ) are flashing (flash is charging). ƔInsufficient light may prevent appropriate exposure or White Balance.

ƔFlash charging may take time if battery is low, or if using flash repeatedly.
