* When 

the

duration than for normal fl ash before emitting light. 
 

#AUTO, $ can be set in A mode.

The lens may cast shadows over objects close to 
the camera, causing vignetting, or be too bright 
even at minimum output.

Use optional off-camera fl ash 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.
