The Built-in Flash Use with CPU lenses with focal lengths of 18-300mm or non-CPU lenses with focal lengths of 18- 200mm ( 97-98). Remove lens hoods to prevent shadows. Lenses that block the subject's view of the AF-assist lamp may interfere with red-eye reduction. The flash has a minimum range of 60cm (2ft.) and can not be used in the macro range of macro zoom lenses. If the flash fires in continuous shooting mode ( 32), only one picture will be taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed. The shutter release may be briefly disabled to protect the flash after it has been used for several consecutive shots. The flash can be used again after a short pause. For information on optional flash units (Speedlights), see "Optional Flash Units (Speedlights)" ( 99). See "Flash Compensation" for information on controlling flash level ( 48). Rear-Curtain Sync Normally the flash fires as the shutter opens ("front curtain sync"; see below at left). In rear-curtain sync, the flash fires just before the shutter closes, creating the effect of a stream of light behind moving subjects.
