[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 292197, member: 12496"] My D800 and D300 manuals both also say built in flash "cannot be used" at macro distances, less than 2 feet, but it works anyway on both of them. It does flash at six inches. I think "cannot be used" only means ought not be used, accuracy could be suspect. Plus the danger of the lens blocking the flash.. I cannot speak for the D7100 (but really doubt it is different). It would seem this is just a warning about accuracy, not a statement about disabling it. Normally, the flash will always fire in A, S, P, or M modes, in any situation, if the flash door is open (and if the internal flash is recycled to Ready... Ready indicator is lighted). [/QUOTE]
