Effective flash range (S: AUTO) Wide-angle:Approx. 60 cm to 8.3 m (2.0 ft. to 27.2 ft.) Telephoto:Approx. 2.0 m to 4.6 m (6.6 ft. to 15.1 ft.)

If you take pictures outside of the effective flash range, the image may appear dark even if the flash is used.

CAUTION Notes on using flash

If the shutter speed is set to a speed faster than 1/1000 sec., the image may appear dark even if the flash is used.

If pressing the shutter button while the flash is charging

(indicator lamp blinking orange), the picture will be taken without the flash (when using AUTO and b).

The flash charging time may increase when the batteries are low on charge.

When taking a picture using the flash, the image may disappear and go dark briefly due to flash charging. The indicator lamp blinks orange during charging.

The flash fires several times (pre-flashes and the main flash). Do not move the camera until the picture is taken.

Popping the flash up automatically

The flash pops up automatically and fires as required by the shooting conditions. Set to C Suppressed flash mode when you want to take pictures without flash.
