Using the Built-in Flash
Use the following procedures to take a picture 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 4 m from the subject.
Exposure will not be properly controlled and vignetting 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.152)).

automatically when necessary, such as when using a

conditions. (The flash may pop up but may not discharge
if the camera determines that the flash is not necessary.)

Discharges flash manually. Flash discharges when
popped up, does not discharge when retracted.

Vignetting (darkening of the corners of the image due to a lack of light) may
occur depending on the lens being used and the capture conditions. We
recommend taking a test shot to confirm this.
