D The Built-in Flash
The built-in flash can be used with lenses with focal lengths of
18–300 mm, although in some cases the flash may be unable to
entirely light the subject at some ranges or focal lengths due to
shadows cast by the lens (see the illustration below), while lenses that
block the subject’s view of the red-eye reduction lamp may interfere
with red-eye reduction.
Remove lens hoods to prevent shadows.
Shadow Vignetting
The flash has a minimum range of 0.6 m and can not be used in the
macro range of macro zoom lenses.
The flash may be unable to light
the entire subject with the following lenses at ranges less than those
given below:
