The Built-in Flash
Use with CPU lenses with focal lengths of 18–300 mm or non-CPU lenses with focal lengths of
18–200 mm (pg. 232; note that auto flash level control is available with CPU lenses only).
Remove lens hoods to prevent shadows. Lenses that block the subject’s view of the red-eye
reduction lamp may interfere with red-eye reduction.
The flash has a minimum range of 60 cm
(2 ft.) and can not be used in the macro range of macro zoom lenses.
If the flash fires in ! or 9 mode (pg. 65), only one picture will be taken each time the
shutter-release button is pressed.
The shutter release may be briefly disabled to protect the flash after it has been used for several
consecutive shots.
The flash can be used again after a short pause.
