•Choose an appropriate flash shooting distance from the table above. If a desirable distance value is not found in the table, use a shorter distance.

For example, if the desired shooting distance is 2.7m (8.9 ft.), set 2.5m (8.2 ft.) on the LCD panel.

tBeyond the flash-shooting distance range warning

In distance-priority manual flash operation, the distance exceeding the available flash shooting distance range cannot be displayed on the LCD panel. Therefore, if the available distance range is shifted by changing the ISO sensitivity, aperture, or zoom-head position after you have set the shooting distance and aperture, the farthest (or closest) available flash shooting distance value is highlighted with an arrow pointing toward the available flash shooting distance range.
