¡ Use the built-in flash at least 1m/3.3 ft away from the subject. Closer
distances will cause the lens to partially obstruct the flash.
¡ When using the built-in flash, detach any hood attahed to the lens. A lens
hood will partially obstruct the flash.
¡ When a super telephoto lens or fast, large-aperture lens is attached, the
built-in flash coverage might be obstructed. Using an EX-series
Speedlite (optional) is recommended.
¡ The built-in flash’s coverage is effective with lens focal lengths as short
as 17mm. If the lens is shorter than 17mm, the periphery of the flash
photo will look dark.
¡ To retract the flash, push it back down.
¡ In the modes, even if you set the shutter speed to one faster
than 1/250 sec., it will be set automatically to 1/250 sec.
¡ If autofocus cannot be achieved, the AF-assist beam will be emitted
automatically (except in <
3> <5> <7> modes). (p.68)
