ALowering the Built-in Flash

 

To save power when the flash is not in use,

 

press it gently downward until the latch

 

clicks into place. Do not use force. Failure to

 

observe this precaution could result in prod-

 

uct malfunction.

 

AUsing the Built-in Flash

 

The built-in flash can be used in still image mode only. If the flash is

 

fired multiple times in quick succession, the flash and shutter may be

 

temporarily disabled to protect the flash. Shooting can be resumed

 

after a brief pause.

 

Objects close to the camera may be overexposed in photographs taken

 

with the flash at high ISO sensitivities.

 

To avoid vignetting, remove lens hoods and shoot at ranges of at least

 

0.6 m (2 ft). Some lenses may cause vignetting at greater distances or

 

obstruct the red-eye reduction lamp, interfering with red-eye reduc-

t

tion; for more information, visit a Nikon website. The following illustra-

tions show the effect of vignetting caused by shadows cast by the lens

 

when the built-in flash is used.
