Use with lenses with focal lengths of 24–300 mm in FX format (pg. 374). 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 (pg. 86), only one picture will be taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed.
