• Since the shutter speed becomes slower,
we recommend using a tripod and the
self-timer (P38) for taking pictures.
• Keep the subject still for about 1 second
after taking the picture.

Wide (1
k
) and being about 1.5 m
(4.92 feet) from the subject when taking a
picture.

5 m (16.4 feet). (Refer to P36 for the
available flash range to take pictures.)
• The shutter may remain closed (max.
about 1 sec.) after taking the picture

a malfunction.
