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 product malfunction.

AUsing the Built-in Flash

The built-in flash can not be used with live image control (0 27) and will not fire during continuous shooting at frame advance rates faster than 5 fps (0 67) or when On is selected for HDR in the shooting menu (0 42). 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. The following illustrations show the effect of vignetting caused by shadows cast by the lens when the built-in flash is used.

AAperture, Sensitivity, and Flash Range

Flash range varies with sensitivity (ISO equivalency) and aperture. With the standard zoom lens at maximum aperture and ISO sensitivity set to ISO 100 to 6400, the range is approximately 0.6 m–7.0 m (2 ft–23 ft) when the lens is zoomed all the way out, 0.6 m–4.2 m (2 ft–13.8 ft) at maximum zoom.
