uCaution
Be sure to retract the built-in flash if not planning to use it. Be
careful not to get your fingers pinched when retracting the
flash.
The built-in flash discharges even when retracted, which may
cause vignetting to occur depending on the lens being used.
If you do not want to let the built-in flash discharge while it is
retracted, set [11. Flash When Retracted] in the E2 menu.
You cannot take pictures while the flash is being charged. If
you want to take pictures while charging the flash, set [12.
Release While Charging] in the E2 menu.
Depending on the lens being used, the use of the built-in flash
may be limited. (p.74)
