Flash effective range for the Auto Picture
Mode and Picture Mode with ISO 100 (400) film
used
• The minimum effective range is always 0.7m
(2.6ft) even if a lens with a maximum aperture
f/2.8 or smaller is in use. When a subject is shot
at a distance closer than 0.7m (2.6ft), the correct
exposure cannot be obtained, and you will see
vignetting in the picture corners.
