The GR Digital III allows output control the power of the built-in flash from full flash to 1/64th power. In this extreme example, we set-up the camera so that it was 0.5 metre away from the bowls of fruit, and then from 1/64th, doubled the flash output level with each successive shot to maximum.

Continuous operates at around 1.5fps at the highest resolution.
