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 46.

Wide-angle position

Telephoto position

0.2m ~ 3.2m (0.6 ft. ~ 10.5 ft.)

0.1m ~ 1.8m (0.4 ft. ~ 5.9 ft.)

FLASH SIGNALS

The indicator lamp next to the viewfinder indicates the status of the flash. When the lamp is orange and blinks quickly, the flash is charging and the shutter will not release. The lamp glows steadily for three seconds when the flash is charged.

DISPLAY BUTTON - RECORDING MODE

The display button controls the LCD monitor display. The display cycles to the next position each time the button is pressed: full display, live image only, and monitor off. The monitor cannot be turned off for movie/audio recording. If the display button is pressed and held, the LCD-brightness adjustment screen is displayed, see page 72.
