∫The available flash range
If the distance to the subject is close when taking a picture using a flash, part of the
recorded image becomes dark because the light of flash is blocked by the lens or it
becomes out of flash range. Check the distance to the subject when taking a picture. The
distance at which light from the flash is blocked by lens, and the distance to which light
from the flash is delivered vary depending on the lens used.
•The available flash range is an approximation.
•This is the range when ISO Limit Set (P134) is set to [OFF].
