zoomed out all the way. With maximum optical zoom applied, the range is approx.
0.5 to 2.5 m (1 to 8 ft.) when ISO sensitivity is set to Auto.

Note that in G (easy auto) mode (

A 26), only U Auto (default setting) and W

Off are available.

Notes on Flash

When using the flash, reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as bright spots in

pictures. To reduce these reflections, set the flash setting to W Off.

There may be functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See “Camera Settings That

cannot be Applied Simultaneously” (

A 75) for more information.

In G (easy auto) mode (

A 26), the camera automatically selects the optimum

flash mode for the scene mode it has selected.

V

Suited to pictures of people, this option reduces the “red-eye” phenomenon
(

A 63).

back-lit subjects.
