* The shutter speed is 1/200 seconds when using a separately sold external ash. For the
silent mode, the shutter speed is 1/20 seconds.
Minimum range
The lens may cast shadows over
objects close to the camera,
causing vignetting, or the ash
may be too bright even at
minimum output.
Lens
Approximate distance at
which vignetting occurs
14-42mm f3.5-5.6 II R 1 m
ED 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 EZ 0.5 m
ED 40-150mm f4.0-5.6 R 0.9 m
ED 14-150mm f4.0-5.6 II 0.5 m
• External ash units can be used to prevent vignetting. To prevent photographs from being
overexposed, select A or M mode, and choose a high aperture value or reduce ISO
sensitivity.
