Effective Range of the Flash
The flash has a range of about 0.5 to 8.0 m (1 ft 8 in. to 26 ft) for wide-angle position, and about 1.5 to
4.5 m (5 ft to 14 ft) for telephoto zoom position (when ISO sensitivity is set to Auto).
U Auto
Flash fires automatically when lighting is dim.
V Auto with red-eye reduction
Best choice for portraits. Reduces red-eye effect caused by flash in portraits (
A58).
X Fill flash
The flash fires when a picture is taken, regardless of how bright the subject is. Use to
“fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects.
Y Slow sync
Fill flash is combined with a slow shutter speed.
Suitable for portraits of human subjects shot at night or under dim light. Flash
illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background.
Z Rear-curtain sync
Fill flash fires just before the shutter closes, creating the effect of a stream of light
behind moving subjects.
