D The Built-in Flash The built-in flash can be used with lenses with focal lengths of 18-300 mm, although in some cases the flash may be unable to entirely light the subject at some ranges or focal lengths due to shadows cast by the lens, while lenses that block the subject's view of the redeye reduction lamp may interfere with red-eye reduction. Remove lens hoods to prevent shadows. The flash has a minimum range of 0.6 m and can not be used in the macro range of macro zoom lenses. The flash may be unable to light the entire subject with the following lenses at ranges less than those given below: Lens AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED AF-S 16-35mm f/4G VR AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF Zoom-Nikkor 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5D IF-ED AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED, AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II AF Zoom-Nikkor 20-35mm f/2.8D IF AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4G ED AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 28-70mm f/2.8D IF-ED Zoom position 24 mm 20 mm 24 mm 28 mm 35 mm 24-85 mm 24 mm 28 mm 35 mm 28 mm 35 mm 45-55 mm 24 mm 28-35 mm 18 mm 24-70 mm 18 mm 24 mm 18 mm 24-135 mm 24 mm 35-200 mm 24 mm 28 mm 35 mm 24 mm 35 mm 50 mm 70 mm 24 mm 28-120 mm 24 mm 28 mm 35 mm 35 mm 50-70 mm Minimum distance without vignetting 2.5 m/8 ft. 2in. 3.0 m/9 ft. 10 in. 1.0 m/3 ft. 3 in. 1.5 m/4 ft. 11 in. 1.0 m/3 ft. 3 in.

The Built-in Flash
The built-in flash can be used with lenses with focal lengths of 18–300 mm, although in
some cases the flash may be unable to entirely light the subject at some ranges or focal
lengths due to shadows cast by the lens, while lenses that block the subject’s view of the red-
eye reduction lamp may interfere with red-eye reduction.
Remove lens hoods to prevent
shadows.
The flash has a minimum range of 0.6 m and can not be used in the macro range
of macro zoom lenses.
The flash may be unable to light the entire subject with the following
