Using the Flash
The flash mode allows you to specify the settings according to shooting conditions.
• For L22, the flash has a range of approx. 0.5-7.0 m (1 ft. 8 in.-23 ft.) when the
camera is zoomed out all the way, and 0.5-3.0 m (1 ft. 8 in.-9 ft. 10 in.) when the
maximum optical zoom is applied. For L21, the flash has a range of approx. 0.5-
5.5 m (1 ft. 8 in.-18 ft.) when the camera is zoomed out all the way, and 0.5-2.5 m
(1 ft. 8 in.-8 ft.) when the maximum optical zoom is applied.
• Note that when using easy auto mode (A 20), only U Auto (default setting)
and W
Off are available. When U Auto is applied, the camera automatically
selects the optimum flash mode setting for the scene mode it has selected.
• The following flash modes are available when shooting in auto mode (A 29)
and certain scene modes (
