Basic Operations
Using the Built-in Flash
Use the following procedures to take a picture in low light or backlit
conditions or when you want to manually use the built-in flash.
The built-in flash is optimum at about 0.7 m to 4 m from the subject.
Exposure will not be properly controlled and vignetting may occur when
used at a distance closer than 0.7 m (this distance varies slightly
depending on the lens being used and set sensitivity (p.152)).

Compatibility of built-in flash and lens
Vignetting (darkening of the corners of the image due to a lack of light) may
occur depending on the lens being used and the capture conditions. We
recommend taking a test shot to confirm this.
