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 vignetting occurs also depends on lens type 
and shooting conditions (such as distance to the subject).

complete.
