Operating Instructions

Detailed guide / Record mode / 132
The table tells you which of the flash modes can
be used with which record modes.
The flash range for automatic (autofocus) and
manual focus is as follows:
at maximum wide-angle setting
approx. 0.3-4.5m
at maximum telephoto setting
approx. 0.3-3.5m
with macro setting:
at maximum wide-angle setting
approx. 0.1-0.5m
at maximum telephoto setting
approx. 0.2-0.5m
Notes:
The built-in flash unit is automatically turned off
for video recordings.
It is only ever possible to take single pictures with
the flash unit turned on, i. e. series exposures and
automatic exposure and focus bracketing modes
cannot be combined with use of the flash.
You can individually correct the flash exposure
control (see p. 146).
Please note that you should not cover the flash
exposure metering cell (1.3) with your fingers or
other objects. This can lead to incorrect exposures.
Taking photographs with the
automatic self timer
The automatic self timer allows you to take a
picture with a delay of either 2 or 10 s. This is
particularly useful for group photographs, where
you want to appear in the picture yourself or if
you want to avoid the picture being out of focus
due to camera shake when releasing the shutter.
In such cases, we recommend that you attach the
camera to a tripod.
Notes:
Automatic self timer mode is not possible in
conjunction with video recordings.
It is only ever possible to take single pictures with
the automatic self timer turned on, i. e. series
exposures and automatic exposure and focus
bracketing modes cannot be combined with
automatic self timer mode.
Setting the function:
1. Set the record/review selector (1.14) to one of
the record modes and the exposure mode dial
(1.15) to the desired function.
