Notes

The recommended distance to the subject when using the built-in flash is approximately 0.3 to 1.5 m (1 to 5 feet).

Remove any dust from the surface of the flash before using it. Flash effect may be impaired if heat discoloration or dust obscures the lamp.

The /CHG (charge) lamp (p. 18) flickers while charging the flash, and remains lit when the battery charge is complete.

If you use the flash in bright places such as when shooting a backlit subject, the flash may not be effective.
