72 Using the Built-in Flash Basic Operations Use the following procedures to take pictures in low light or backlit conditions or when you want to manually use the built-in flash. The built-in flash is optimum at about 0.7 m to 5 m from the subject. 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.171)). 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 confirm this. 1 Lens Compatibility with the Built-in Flash (p.172) • 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 aperture lens ring to s (Auto). For details on the built-in flash and instructions on how to take pictures with the external flash, refer to the "Using the Flash" (p.167). Setting the Flash Mode Flash Mode Function C Auto Flash Discharge Discharges the flash automatically in dark or backlit conditions. D Auto Flash+ Lights a red-eye reduction light before automatic Red-eye Reduction flash. E Flash On Discharges the flash for each picture. F Flash On+ Lights a red-eye reduction light before discharging Red-eye Reduction the flash with Flash On. G Slow-speed Sync Sets to a slow shutter speed depending on the brightness. For example, when using this to shoot a portrait with the sunset in the background, both the person and the background are captured beautifully.
