duration than for normal flash before emitting light.

Minimum range (FL-LM2)
The lens may cast shadows over objects close to
the camera, causing vignetting, or be too bright
even at minimum output.
Lens
Approximate distance at
which vignetting occurs
14 – 42 mm 0.2 m
17 mm 0.2 m
40 – 150 mm 0.65 m
12 – 50 mm 0.5 m
• Use optional off-camera flash units to prevent vignetting. To prevent photographs from
being overexposed, select mode A or M and choose a high f-number, or reduce ISO
sensitivity.
