ADVANCED OPERATION FOR THE BUILT-IN FLASH
F, FA and FA J Lenses Compatibility with the
Built-in Flash
If an FA J, F or FA lens incompatible with the built-in flash is
used, pressing the shutter release button halfway down causes
rapid blinking of in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel as
a warning.
If you take a flash picture with an incompatible lens, the corner of
the picture may look dark or there may be a dark, semi-circular
area on the lower part of the picture.
