Using soft flash
When taking a portrait with the flash in the dark indoor environment, a shadow may
be cast upon the subject. In this case, you can take photos by raising the flash to
reflex the light off the ceiling or wall, not pointing directly at the subject. Then, the
shadow cast upon the subject will disappear, allowing you get a soft portrait with
the light evenly spread on the scene.

Adjusting the ISO sensitivity
The ISO sensitivity is the measure of a film’s sensitivity to light as defined by the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The higher ISO sensitivity you
select, the more sensitive to light your camera becomes. Use a higher ISO sensitivity
to capture better photos and reduce camera shake when not using the flash.
