the depth of field scale nor the distance scale can be used.

(Both scales can be used when the lens is shifted only.)

10. Taking flash pictures using cameras with a

built-in flash

To prevent vignetting, do not use a lens hood, and take images

referring to the shooting distance below.

Note: The following limitations are only for shooting without tilt

and/or shift. When using the camera’s built-in flash for tilt/

shift shooting, vignetting will be greater than shooting

without tilt/shift. For tilt/shift shooting, use of camera's

built-in flash is not recommended.
