Flash Photography
The built-in flash has a Guide Number (GN) 12/39 (m/ft., ISO 100, 20 °C/68 °F) and
provides coverage for the angle of view of a 16 mm lens.
It can be used not only
when natural lighting is inadequate but to fill in shadows and backlit subjects or to
add a catch light to the subject’s eyes.
