A Lowering the Built-in Flash
To save power when the flash is not in use,
press it gently downward until the latch
clicks into place.
A The Built-in Flash
Remove lens hoods to prevent shadows. The flash has a minimum
range of approximately 0.6 m (2 ft) and cannot be used in the macro
range of zoom lenses with a macro function. Use lenses with focal
lengths of 18 mm to 300 mm; peripheral illumination may drop if the
flash is used with lenses with focal lengths under 18 mm.
The shutter release may be briefly disabled to protect the flash after it
has been used for several consecutive shots. The flash can be used
again after a short pause.
A Shutter Speeds Available with the Built-in Flash
