Sensitivity ( ISO Equivalency)
When lighting is poor and the fl ash is off, the camera will
automatically increase sensitivity, permitting faster exposures
and minimizing blur caused by inadvertent camera movement
(camera shake). An ISO icon will appear in the monitor to
warn that the picture may be slightly mottled.
The (Camera Shake) Icon
When lighting is poor and the fl ash is off ( ), shutter speeds
will slow and pictures may be blurred. If the shutter speed
required for exposure is very slow, a (camera shake)
warning will appear in the monitor. Use of a tripod or support
is recommended.
Close-Ups
The fl ash may not be able to light the entire subject at distances of less than 40 cm
(15.7˝). When taking close-ups, play each picture back after shooting to check the
results.
Flash Mode Selection
Depending on the mode selected, the fl ash mode may change automatically when you
choose a new shooting mode ( 6).
Flash Range
Flash range varies with zoom position. When the camera is zoomed all the way out, the
fl ash has a range of 0.4 – 3.0 m (1´4˝ – 9´10˝). The range at maximum zoom is 0.4 –1.7 m
(1´4˝ – 5´7˝).
