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 51.
Flash signals
The red indicator lamp next to the viewfinder indicates the status of the
flash. When the lamp glows, the flash is charging and will be used in the
exposure.
Flash cancel – the flash will not fire. Use flash cancel when flash photography is prohibited, natural
light is desired to illuminate the subject, or the subject is beyond the flash range.
The slow-sync. option in the recording menu specifies the minimum shutter speed used with a
particular flash mode to control camera shake. See page 48 for more information. The custom
option in the setup menu (p. 77) allows the available flash modes to be edited.
