Depending on the lens used with this camera, the use of the built-in flash
may not be available or may be limited due to vignetting.
The built-in flash cannot be regulated and fully discharges when A lenses
not set to the s (Auto) position, lenses manufactured prior to the A lenses
or soft focus lenses are used.
DA, DA L, D FA, FA J, and FA lenses not listed below can be used without
problems.
