MEMO

• The built-in flash does not pop up even if the flash pop-up button is

pressed with the flash mode is set to

(Flash OFF).

• When the flash pop-up button is pressed,

disappears and

appears on the LCD panel, which indicates the flash always fires
regardless of the light conditions.

• The shutter cannot be released until the flash is fully charged.
• To enable shutter release before the flash is charged, set custom

function number [CF7] to [2]. See pages 134 and 138.

• Do not use a lens hood with the built-in flash as it may obstruct the

path of the light coming from the flash, causing vignetting in the picture
corners.

• With the built-in flash popped up, an external flash cannot be attached

to the hot shoe. If you would like to use an external flash together with
the built-in flash, see the flash connections on page 124.
