flash basics

An on-camera flash is either the built-in pop-up flash
or an external flash that can be easily added to any
camera that has a hot shoe.

On-camera flash provides the photographer with a
more powerful light source and the ability to better
control the direction of light being emitted.

On-camera flash works with most exposure modes.
The most basic setting on the flash is Auto. Simply
choose your camera mode then set your flash to
Auto. The flash will use a built-in sensor to survey the
surrounding light, fire the flash, and add additional
light to properly illuminate the subject.

Adding flash when needed to your images adds
control and creativity to your results. The Following are
some common practices for using an on-camera flash.
