Cautions
when
using
a
flash
with
the
lens
Built-in
flash
When you use a flash
in
situations where the distance from a subject and the camera
is
close, the flash light
is
partially blocked
by
the lens, causing some parts of the photo
appear dark.
Check the distance between the camera and subjects when you capture photos.
Distance interrupted by the flash light may vary depending on the type of lens.
