Memo

•The approximate range of the flash is 0.15 m to 4.5 m when not using the 3× optical zoom (wide-angle setting) and 0.4 m to 2.5 m when using the 3× optical zoom (telephoto setting). If the subject is too far from the camera, it will not be illuminated by the flash. Additionally, if the subject is too close to the camera, exposure will not be correctly adjusted. Increase the sensitivity (p.67) to extend the effective range of the flash.

•You can also increase the ISO sensitivity setting to take pictures in dimly lit locations without using the flash. When the sensitivity is increased, the shutter speed also increases, making it easier to prevent camera shake and

blurring of the subject. However, you may notice increased noise, which

56looks like a grainy pattern, in the picture (p.67).
