D The Built-in Flash
The built-in flash can be used with lens focal lengths of 18–300 mm,
although in some cases the flash may be unable to entirely light the
subject at some ranges or focal lengths due to shadows cast by the
lens (see the illustration below), while lenses that block the subject’s
view of the red-eye reduction lamp may interfere with red-eye
reduction.
Remove lens hoods to prevent shadows.
Shadow Shadow
The flash has a minimum range of 0.6 m and can not be used in the
macro range of macro zoom lenses.
The flash may be unable to light
the entire subject with the following lenses at ranges less than those
