• When using the built-in flash, stay at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the
subject. Otherwise, part of the photo will look dark.
• When using the built-in flash, detach any hood attached to the lens. A lens
hood will partially obstruct the flash coverage.
• When a super telephoto lens or a fast, large-aperture lens is attached, the
built-in flash coverage might be obstructed.
• To retract the built-in flash, push it down.
