Using the Built-in Flash
Use a flash to take pictures in low light or backlit conditions.
The built-in flash is optimum for a subject at a distance from 0.7 m to 5 m.
Vignetting (darkening of the corners of the image due to a lack of light) may
occur when used at a distance closer than 0.7 m (this distance varies
slightly depending on the lens being used and the sensitivity setting.
(p.218))
When using the built-in flash, remove the lens hood before shooting. Vignetting
may occur depending on the lens being used and the capture conditions. Refer
to “Lens Compatibility with the Built-in Flash” (p.219) for details.
The built-in flash fully discharges when using a lens without an s (Auto)
position.
For details on the built-in flash and instructions on how to take pictures with an
external flash, refer to “Using the Flash” (p.215).
