MEMO
• The built-in flash does not retract automatically, push the built-in flash down
into the camera body after use.
• The built-in flash does not discharge when not required even though it has
been in the up position.
• Do not use the lens hood when the built-in flash is used, as it may obstruct
the path of the light coming from the flash, causing vignetting in the picture
corners.
• When using an inappropriate F or FA lens, will blink rapidly in the
viewfinder and on the LCD panel when the shutter release button is
depressed halfway down. For more details on COMPATIBILITY OF F AND
FA LENSES WITH THE BUILT-IN FLASH, see page 88.
• If the built-in flash is used continuously, the battery may become warm, but
it does not mean that the battery is faulty; it’s one of the battery’s
characteristics.
• The shutter cannot be released until the flash is fully charged.
Auto-popup flash function
In this mode, the built-in flash pops up and discharges
automatically in low light and backlight condition.
