NOTES
The practical range of the flash is approx. 1 to
2 m (3.3 to 6.6 ft.). The range depends on the
recording conditions.
The range of the flash decreases in
continuous shooting mode.
For the red-eye reduction to be effective, the
subject needs to look at the assist lamp. The
degree of reduction depends on the distance
and on each individual.
The flash will not fire in the following cases:
- When you manually adjust the exposure in
(auto) or (red-eye reduction) mode.
- During auto exposure bracketing.
The flash mode cannot be changed after you
pressed to manually adjust the exposure.
We recommend not using the flash when the
optional Wide-converter or Tele-converter is
attached. Their shadows appear on the screen.
