FLASH EFFECTIVE RANGE FOR THE PICTURE
MODE
As a rule of thumb the distance for using the built-in flash (which
varies with the lens used) is within about four meters (using ISO
400 film).
✍
MEMO
• The flash effective range does not come closer than 0.7m (2.6ft), even
if the lens aperture is so small. When a subject is shot at a distance
less than 0.7m (2.6ft), the correct exposure cannot be obtained, and
you will see vignetting in the picture corners.
• Note the built-in flash pops up even when the subject is far away or
beyond the maximum flash effective range. See page 86 for the flash
effective range.
