Minimum range
The lens may cast shadows over objects close to
the camera, causing vignetting, or be too bright
even at minimum output.
Lens
Approximate distance at
which vignetting occurs
14 – 42 mm 1.0 m
17 mm 0.25 m
40 – 150 mm 1.0 m
14 – 150 mm Flash cannot be used
12 – 50 mm Flash cannot be used
• External fl ash units can be used to prevent vignetting. To prevent photographs from being
overexposed, select mode A or M and choose a high f-number, or reduce ISO sensitivity.
