Aperture value f guide number shooting distance example when the sensitivity is iso 200 and the shooting distance is 4 m f 17 4 approx 4 if the resulting number 4 in the above example is not available as a lens aperture a smaller number that is closest 4 in the above example is generally used 244

Distance and aperture when using the built in flash 244
Example when the sensitivity is iso 200 and the aperture value is f5 l1 17 5 approx 3 m l2 3 5 approx 0 m therefore the flash can be used in a range of about 0 m to 3 m however the built in flash in this camera cannot be used when the distance is 0 m or less when the flash is used at distances closer than 0 m it causes vignetting in the picture corners light is distributed unevenly and the picture may be overexposed 244
Relationships among the guide number aperture and distance must be considered when shooting with the flash to obtain a correct exposure calculate the shooting distance or aperture value in the following way and adjust the shooting conditions if the flash output is not sufficient 244
The following equation calculates the effective distance of the flash maximum flash distance l1 guide number aperture value minimum flash distance l2 maximum flash distance 5 244
