AThe Built-in Flash
The built-in flash can be used with CPU lenses with focal lengths of 16–300 mm, although 
in some cases the flash may be unable to entirely light the subject at some ranges or focal 
lengths due to shadows cast by the lens, while  lenses that block the subject’s view of the 
red-eye reduction lamp may interfere with red-eye reduction.
 Remove lens hoods to 
prevent shadows.
 The flash has a minimum range of 0.6 m (2 ft) and can not be used in the 
macro range of macro zoom...

ACalculating Angle of View
The size of the area exposed by a 35mm camera is 36 × 24 mm.
 The size of the area exposed 
by the D7100 when  DX (24×16) is selected for  Image area in the shooting menu, in contrast, 
is 23.5 × 15.6 mm, meaning that the angle of view of a 35mm camera is approximately 1.5 
times that of the D7100 (when  1.3× (18×12) is selected, the size of the area exposed is 
reduced and the angle of view is reduced by a further 1.3×).
