Lowering the Built-in Flash
To save battery power when the fl ash is not in use, press it gently down-
ward until the latch clicks into place.

Use with lenses with a focal length of 18–300 mm (CPU lenses; the maximum focal 
length when the built-in fl ash is used with non-CPU lenses is 200 mm) and remove 
lens hoods to prevent them from casting shadows on the subject.  The fl ash has a 
minimum range of 60 cm (2´), and can not be used in the macro range of macro 
zoom lenses.  See “Optional Accessories” (

 108) for details.

If the fl ash is used in continuous shooting mode (

  21), only one picture will be 

taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed.

After the built-in fl ash has been used for several consecutive shots, the shutter re-
lease may be briefl y disabled to protect the fl ash.  The fl ash can be used again after 
a short pause.
