USING THE FLASH

A flash can be used for various reasons. It can be used to illuminate a poorly

lit subject. A flash can even be used to provide a unique lighting effect on

the captured image. A proper understanding of the flash can extend a

photographer’s artistic reach. The “Auto” flash option allows the camera to

use the flash automatically when appropriate. The “On” flash option ensures

the camera uses the flash while a picture is captured. The “Slow Synchro”

flash option decreases the shutter speed while also using the flash while a

picture is captured. To use a flash option while capturing pictures, follow the
