Using the Built-in Flash 77 Basic Operations Use the following procedures to take pictures in low light or backlit conditions and when you want to use the built-in flash. The built-in flash is optimum for a subject at a distance from 0.7 m to 5 m. Exposure will not be properly controlled and vignetting (darkening of the corners of the image due to a lack of light) may occur when used at a distance closer than 0.7 m (this distance varies slightly depending on the lens being used and set sensitivity. (p.185)) 3 Compatibility of built-in flash and lens Vignetting may occur depending on the lens being used and the capture conditions. We recommend taking a test shot to check the compatibility. 1 Lens Compatibility with the Built-in Flash (p.186) • When using the built-in flash, remove the lens hood before shooting. • The built-in flash fully discharges for lenses without a function to set the lens aperture ring to s (Auto).
