built-in flash by pressing it down
into the camera body.
• The flash is always discharged even if
the subject is not required flash light.
• The shutter cannot be released until
the flash is fully charged.
• If the built in flash is used continuously,
the battery may become warm, but it
does not mean the battery is faulty; it is
one of the battery's characteristics.
• When the built-in flash is used, using a
lens hood is NOT recommended as it
may obstruct the path of the light com-
ing from the flash, causing vignetting in
the picture corners.
• With the built-in flash popped-up, an
external flash cannot be attached to the
hot shoe. If you would like to use an
external flash together with the built-in
flash, see the flash connections on
page 102.
• If the flash pop-up button is pressed
while the flash is popped up, the cam-
era enters the Flash ON mode in which
the built-in flash discharges at all times.
