Photo Tip - Flash in Compacts

The following is primarily for compact cameras

Often people complain about the quality of flash photos with their compact cameras. They can see the people but the background is dark. There are two quick solutions to this. You can either turn off the flash and the camera will use natural (ambient) lighting (example 1) or you can use the night mode of your camera to add the background lighting with the flash of the camera (example 2).

Here are two examples to illustrate this idea.



(L) With flash & (R) Without Flash



(L) No flash Night Mode (R) With flash & Night Mode
