The built-in flash can be used not only when natural lighting is
inadequate but to fill in shadows and backlit subjects or to add a
catch light to the subject’s eyes.
Auto Pop-up Modes
In i, k, n, o, S, T, U, and ' modes, the built-in flash
automatically pops up and fires as required.

The flash will pop up as
required when the shutter-

automatically, DO NOT attempt to raise it by hand. Failure to
observe this precaution could damage the flash.
