FLASH RANGE - AUTOMATIC OPERATION
The camera automatically controls the flash output. For well-exposed images, the subject must be
within the flash range. Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens’
wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position. The flash range can be changed with camera
sensitivity (ISO), see page 46.
FLASH SIGNALS
The indicator lamp next to the viewfinder indicates the status of the
flash. When the lamp is orange and blinks quickly, the flash is charging
and the shutter will not release. The lamp glows steadily for three sec-
onds when the flash is charged.

The display button controls the LCD monitor display. The display cycles to the next position each

turned off for movie/audio recording. If the display button is pressed and held, the LCD-brightness
adjustment screen is displayed, see page 72.
