single image.

Under some shooting conditions, images may not look as
expected.

For better shots, have the person stand away from illumination
such as street lights, and make sure the flash is raised.

There will be a delay before you can shoot again, as the camera
processes the images.

To avoid blurry shots, make sure the person you shoot in steps
4 – 5 stays still.
