Flash shooting
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).
