Using The Built-In Flash - Olympus EVOLT E-500 Advanced Manual

Using the built-in flash

If you shoot a subject using a lens that is wider than 14 mm (equivalent to 28
mm on a 35 mm film camera), the light emitted by the flash may produce a
vignette effect. Whether or not this occurs depends on lens type and shooting
conditions (such as distance to the subject).
