Using the Flash
The flash mode allows you to specify the settings according to shooting conditions.
The flash has a range of approx. 0.5-7.0 m (1 ft. 8 in.-22 ft.) at the maximum wide-
angle zoom position and a range of approx. 0.5-3.0 m (1 ft. 8 in.-9 ft. 10 in.) at the
maximum telephoto zoom position.
Note that when using easy auto mode (A 18), only U Auto (default setting)
and W Off are available. When U Auto is applied, the camera automatically
selects the optimum flash mode setting for the scene mode it has selected.
The following flash modes are available when shooting in auto mode (A 27)
and certain scene modes (A 33).
