Effective flash output distance range in auto aperture flash 
mode
The effective flash output distance 
range is indicated by numbers and a bar 
chart on the LCD.
•  The actual flash-to-subject distance 
should be within the range displayed.
•  The range varies depending on 
the camera’s image area setting, 
illumination pattern, ISO sensitivity, 
zoom head position and aperture. 
 Taking a picture in auto aperture flash mode
  Make sure the actual flash-to-
subject distance is within the 
effective flash output distance 
range.
  Check that the flash-ready 
indicator is on, and then shoot.
•  Set the flash compensation value 
if necessary (0E-20).
