Turning the Flash On You can make the flash fire every time you shoot. The effective flash range is approximately 50 cm - 6.5 m (1.6 - 21 ft.) at maximum wide angle (j), and approximately 90 cm - 3.0 m (3.0 - 9.8 ft.) at maximum telephoto (i). Choose h. ● After pressing the r button, press the qr buttons or turn the Ê dial to choose h, then press the m button. X If the flash has been lowered, the flash will rise automatically.

Choose e. ● After pressing the q button, press the qr buttons or turn the Ê dial to choose e, then press the m button. X Once set, e will appear on the screen. Focusing Range Description e Approx. 5 - 50 cm (2.0 in. - 1.6 ft.)* Only focuses on close subjects. * When at the maximum wide angle (j) setting of the lens. In macro shooting, the edges of the image may darken if the flash fires. How can I take better close-ups? Try attaching the camera to a tripod and shooting with the self-timer to prevent the camera from moving and blurring the image (p. 59). 75
