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.

DThe Built-in Flash

Use with lenses with focal lengths of 16–300 mm (0 344). Remove lens hoods to prevent shadows. The flash has a minimum range of 60 cm (2 ft.) and can not be used in the macro range of macro zoom lenses.

If the flash fires in continuous release mode (0 88), only one picture will be taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed.

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.
