Flash Range, Aperture, and Sensitivity
Flash range varies with sensitivity (ISO equivalency) and aperture.
The minimum range at which the built-in Speedlight will be able to light the entire
subject is 0.6 m (2´).
In auto multi program, the maximum aperture (minimum f/-number) is limited accord-
ing to sensitivity (ISO equivalency), as shown below:

For each one-step increase in sensitivity (e.g., from 200 to 400), aperture is stopped
down by half an f/-stop. If the maximum aperture of the lens is smaller than given
above, the maximum value for aperture will be the maximum aperture of the lens.
D-TTL flash control can be used to adjust flash output at sensitivity (ISO equivalency)
settings between 200 and 1600. At settings of HI-1 and HI-2, the desired results may
not be achieved at some ranges or aperture settings.
Using the Built-in Speedlight
If the built-in Speedlight is raised in continuous shooting mode, only one photograph
will be taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed.
Vibration reduction (available with VR lenses) will not take effect if the shutter-release
button is press halfway while the built-in Speedlight is charging.
