is
not
in

press
it
gently
downward
until
the

• The Built-in Flash
Use
with
CPU
lenses
with
focal lengths
of
18-300
mm
or non-CPU lenses
with
focal lengths
of
18-200
mm
(pg. 232; note
that
auto flash level control
is
available
with
CPU
lenses only).
Remove lens hoods
to
prevent shadows.
Lenses
that
block
the
subject's view
of
the
red-eye
reduction lamp may interfere
with
red-eye reduction. The flash
has
a
minimum
range
of
60 cm
(2
ft.) and can
not
be used in
the
macro range
of
macro zoom lenses.
If
the flash fires in
~
L or
~H
mode
(pg. 65), only one picture will be taken each
time
the
shutter-release
button
is
pressed.
The shutter release may be briefly disabled
to
protect
the
flash after
it
has
been used
for
several
consecutive shots. The flash can be used again after a short pause.
