Notes
•
The recommended shooting distance using the built-in flash is 1 5/8 feet to 7 1/2 feet (0.5 m to
2.3 m) when set to the W side, or 1 5/8 feet to 3 7/8 feet (0.5 m to 1.2 m) when set to the T side.
•
Auto red-eye reduction may not produce the desired red-eye reduction effects depending on
individual differences, the distance to the subject, if the subject does not see the pre-strobe, or
other conditions.
•
The flash effect is not obtained easily when you use forced flash in a bright location.
•
When you record images in a dark place with the camera set to
(no flash), the shutter speed
becomes slow, so using a tripod is recommended to prevent shaking.
