FLASH RANGE - AUTO-RECORDING MODE
The camera controls the flash output automatically. For well-exposed images, the subject must be within the flash range. Distance is given from the CCD plane. 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.
Wide-angle position | |
0.23 - 6.1m (0.75 - 20ft.) | |
Telephoto position | |
1.2 - 4.8m (3.9 - 15.7ft.) | Approximate location of CCD plane |
If the flash output was sufficient to illuminate the subject, the OK indicator briefly replaces the flash-mode indicator after the exposure. The access lamp blinks slowly while the flash is charging.
CAMERA-SHAKE WARNING
If the shutter speed falls below the point where the camera can be safely hand held, the camera-shake warning appears on the LCD monitor. Camera shake is slight blurring caused by subtle hand motion and is more pronounced at the telephoto position of the lens than at the wide-angle. Although the warning appears, the shutter can still be released. If the warning appears, the following steps can be taken:
• Place the camera on a tripod. | Camera-shake warning |
•Use the built-in flash.
•Zoom the lens towards the wide-angle position until the warning disappears.
