Ah, but there is. Subject blur can show up even when the flash is used; it depends on the ratio between ambient light and flash. A touch of fill flash is not necessarily enough to freeze all movement if the shutter speed is in the 1/15-1/60 range. It's not bad if you can hold the camera steady, but not everyone can. I've seen some bad shots taken with the MZ-7 lately because the user didn't have steady hands, and the ambient exposure at 1/30 or 1/45 resulted in some fuzzy pics, even with the built-in flash used. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
