Z50
The Built-in Flash
The Z50‘s built-in flash can be used with lenses with focal lengths of 16–300 mm, although in some cases the flash may be unable to entirely light the subject at some focal lengths or focus distances due to shadows cast by the lens. Restrictions applying to lenses used in combination with the Z50‘s built-in flash are listed below.
- Remove lens hoods, as they may block the light from the flash.
- The built-in flash has a minimum range of about 0.6 m (2 ft).
