USING BUILT-IN FLASH

Notes on using built-in flash

•Do not touch the flash when it is firing; normal operation can cause it to heat up.

•Never fire the flash more than 20 consecutive times at intervals of 5 sec. or shorter. This may impair flash performance. After each continuous firing, let the flash rest at least 10 minutes before firing again.

When you continuously fire the flash , the camera's handgrip may become hot; this is normal . Continuous firing will result in a longer interval before the ready-light comes on because it takes longer for the flash to recharge automatically.

1 When subject brightness is insufficient, the ready-light ~ blinks inside the viewfinder when you lightly press

the shutter release button to activate the exposure meter. Press the flash lock-release to release and activate the built- in flash.

You can use the built-in flash anytime, regard-less of ambient lighting. For example, if your subject is backlit, you can use the built-in flash to illuminate your subject and fill in shadows.

• When the built-in flash is activated, an accessory Speedlight will not fire. When using a Speedlight, keep the built-in flash in the locked-down position.

• For usable lenses, see page 55.
