Recording
• The flash setting may change if the Recording Mode is changed. Set the flash setting again if
necessary.
• The flash setting is memorized even if the camera is turned off. When changing scene using Scene
Guide Mode, the Scene Guide Mode flash setting is returned to the default value with each change
of scene.
• Flash will not be activated when recording motion picture.
∫ The available flash range
If the distance to the subject is close when taking a picture using a flash, part of the recorded
image becomes dark because the light of flash is blocked by the lens or it becomes out of flash
range. Check the distance to the subject when taking a picture. The distance at which light from
the flash is blocked by lens, and the distance to which light from the flash is delivered vary
depending on the lens used.
• The available flash range is an approximation.
• This is the range when [ISO Limit Set] (P154) is set to [OFF].
