uCaution

Be sure to retract the built-in flash if not planning to use it. Be careful not to get your fingers pinched when retracting the flash.

The built-in flash discharges even when retracted, which may cause vignetting to occur depending on the lens being used. If you do not want to let the built-in flash discharge while it is retracted, set [11. Flash When Retracted] in the E2 menu.

You cannot take pictures while the flash is being charged. If you want to take pictures while charging the flash, set [12. Release While Charging] in the E2 menu.

Depending on the lens being used, the use of the built-in flash may be limited. (p.72)
