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, 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. 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:
