Design fault of F30???

[Rampage]

Hi, whenever u use flash to take macro shots, does the bottom left corner of the pic come out very dark? it seems to me that the flash is being blocked by the lens.

F30 users any comments?

Never experienced any such problem. Are you sure that your finger was not accidentally blocking the flash?

wat i shoot n see is right bottom... flash is block...
dont zoom, just a normal shoot with flash...
try 2 shoot on some thing white or plain...

I think it is normal for wide angle closeup shots with flash. Most point and shoot cameras suffer such problem. Use external flash to resolve the problem.

i have a F601 as well, no probs with tat cam, i find the F30 overall a much better cam except for this design flaw.

because the u are trying to take something to close ... the black shadow is cause by the lens and i dont think such small camera flash lets u do flash macro closeup using the build in flash so dont think its a flaw or what . Anyway why do u want to use the build in flash to do macro ? Lighting looks shitty imho .

I do own a F30 and I have blocked the flash partially before when I placed my finger too close to the bottom of the flash.
