lighting becomes necessary, this powerful
built-in flash unit automatically pops up
to amply illuminate your scene. This flash

a guide number of 12 (ISO 100·m), an
illumination angle that covers the angle
of view of a wide 16mm (24mm eq) lens,
and a maximum synchronization speed
of 1/250 sec. A manual control mode
allows you to regulate flash brightness
regardless of metered exposure values,
and a synchro terminal enables the use
of high-power external flash units and
multi-flash studio systems.

at up to 8 or 3 fps, self-timer shooting with
2 or 10-second delay, and bracketed
shooting for exposure, white balance or
DRO). Then start shooting. Even the 8 fps
