Just because a product goes digital, like the digital camera, is not a surefire sign that those people who purchase the product will understand how to use it. Such is oftentimes the case with digital cameras. Many people own a digital camera, but few of them understand its functions, especially the flash function. And to complicate things even more, the flash on most digital cameras can be a triple threat to one's sanity -since the photographer must choose between flash, fill flash, and no flash at all. So what's a would-be photographer to do? The tips that follow will help you decipher the hidden language of the digital camera flash so that all your moments are Kodak moments, worthy of framing in beautiful picture frames for your home and office.
Using Flash
The most common tips for using flash are those that you can usually find in the owner's manual for any digital camera. The most basic flash tip is to stay within the range of your flash. You can find this range by reading your digital camera's manual. The flash range is usually anywhere from four to ten feet. Always use freshly charged batteries or your flash will not work properly. (Over time, rechargeable batteries lose their potency and will not recharge fully, leading to underperforming digital cameras). Ask your subjects to look somewhat away from the camera in order to reduce or prevent red eye.
Using Fill Flash
Fill flash is an often used feature that is found on most cameras today. Fill flash provides just the right amount of flash to fill in those areas of the picture that might be too dark otherwise. Use your fill flash for shooting subjects on sunny days and it will fill in any dark shadows beneath the nose or eyes, or underneath the rim of a hat. The fill flash is also ideal for challenging lighting situations, such as when shooting a person playing in the snow or shooting someone with a dark complexion on the beach. The fill flash can also be used to provide brightness to the entire picture.
Using No Flash
There are times when no flash at all is the best way to go. This is also called "flash off", and you likely have a flash off setting on your camera. You might use the flash off option when you are too far from your subject for the flash to have any effect on the picture anyway or when the flash might create an annoyance, such as when it might hit a mirror or other shiny object. You might also choose to forego the use of flash when shooting in low light situations or at sunset, when you want to achieve a silhouette of your subject instead of a detailed picture. And of course, you will not want to use your camera's flash when lighting conditions are ideal or when using a flash is not allowed.
The flash button(s) on your camera don't have to be scary. Snapping quality pictures that are worthy of displaying in picture frames is easiest, however, when you know a bit more about the flash function.
