A Using the Built-in Flash
When using the built-in flash, be sure the subject is at a range of at least 0.6 m (2 ft) and
remove lens hoods to prevent vignetting (shadows created where the end of the lens
obscures the built-in flash).

No vignetting at any focus distance
Because the built-in flash units for the D100 and D70 can only cover the angle of view of a
lens with a focal of 20 mm or more; vignetting will occur at a focal length of 18 mm.
