detected scene.

The available flash range
Edges of a picture may become slightly dark if using flash at short distances without using 
zoom (close to max. Wide). This may be remedied by using a little zoom.
Max. Wide Max. Tele
Approx. 0.6 m - 6.8 m (2.0 feet - 22 feet) Approx. 1.0 m - 3.9 m (3.3 feet - 13 feet)
 • These ranges are obtained, the ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO], and [ISO Auto Upper 
Limit (Photo)] is set to [AUTO].
 ●
Avoid doing the following, as the heat or light could cause deformation or discoloration.
 • Putting the flash close to objects
 • Covering the flash with your hand as it is firing
 • Closing the flash as it is firing
 ●
Do not close the flash immediately after the preliminary flash is operated prior to taking pictures for 
Forced ON/Red-Eye Reduction and other flash settings. If you close the flash immediately, it will 
cause a malfunction.
 ●
Flash charging may take time if battery is low or if using flash repeatedly. When the flash is being 
charged, the flash icon flashes red, and you cannot take a picture even when you fully press the 
shutter button.
