Taking pictures by using the flash
Applicable modes:

Turn the camera on, and press the flash 
open button.
B To close the built-in flash
Press the built-in flash until it clicks.
Forcibly closing the flash can damage the camera.

The available flash range
If the distance to the subject is close when taking a picture using a flash, part of the 
recorded image becomes dark because the light of flash is blocked by the lens or it 
becomes out of flash range. Check the distance to the subject when taking a picture. The 
distance at which light from the flash is blocked by lens, and the distance to which light 
from the flash is delivered vary depending on the lens used.
The available flash range is an approximation.
This is the range when ISO Limit Set 
 is set to [OFF].
