The Built-in Flash
When shooting a dimly lit, or backlit, subject in e (auto) mode, the built-in flash will pop up
automatically when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. When using the flash, remove the
lens hood to prevent its shadow from appearing in photographs.
If the flash is required, picture can only be taken while the flash-ready
indicator (J) is displayed. If the flash-ready indicator is not displayed,
the flash is charging and pictures cannot be taken even if the flash is up. Wait until D is displayed.
In e (auto) mode with auto flash mode enabled, the flash will not fire, even if it has popped up
automatically, if the subject is already sufficiently lit. Pictures can also be taken when D is not
displayed.
Select f Auto (flash off) mode (A 36) to prevent the flash from firing when lighting is poor.
For more information on using the flash, see “Using the Built-in Flash” (A 64).
Flash range varies with aperture and ISO sensitivity (A 179).
When the flash is not in use, return it to its closed position by pressing it
gently downward until it clicks into place.
