If you attempt to use the flash closer than the ranges described above, the entire picture may be too bright, or shadows may appear in parts of the picture. If you attempt to use the flash farther than the ranges described above, the light from the flash will not reach the subject and the subject will appear dark. You may be able to take a picture farther than these ranges by increasing the ISO value, but raising the ISO value could cause the picture to appear grainy. With ISO set for AUTO, the ISO value will be adjusted automatically within the range of 80~160. (➞ 83)

Caution

•Please do not use the lens hood or conversion lenses when shooting with the internal flash. These attachments will block some of the flashed light, resulting in a problem known as vignetting (loss or darkening of the corner areas of the image). The ranges in the table above assume that no such attachments are on the camera.
