Technical Notes

The flash has a range of about 0.5–1.4 m (1 ft 8 in.–4 ft 7 in.) when the camera is zoomed all the way out, or 0.5–0.8 m

(1 ft 8 in.–2 ft 7 in.) at maximum zoom.

Red-eye reduction: A series of low-intensity “pre-flashes” are emitted before the main flash to reduce red-eye; if red-eye is detected after shooting, additional processing is performed to further reduce red-eye as the pictures are saved (advanced red- eye reduction). Note that the pre-flashes increase the delay between the shutter-release button being pressed and the shutter being released, and that the processing performed when red-eye is detected may slightly increase recording times. The desired results may not be achieved in all cases, and in rare instances red-eye reduction may be applied to areas of the image in which no red-eye occurs.

The Bicon: Flash mode options can also be displayed by tapping the Bicon in the shooting mode display.
