Flash facts

Every flash photograph is two exposures in one
- ambient light exposure
- flash exposure

Fill flash can be used when subject is backlit or side lit to eliminate silhouettes or shadows

Flash exposure is not affected by shutter speed

Flash illumination is dramatically affected by distance

Your camera measures ambient light and flash illumination separately

With automatic flash metering, the flash illumination is measured after the shutter button is pressed and the flash output is adjusted accordingly

Every SLR camera with a mechanical shutter box has a maximum flash sync shutter speed

Harsh lighting, washed out subjects and red eye can be eliminated by using diffusers and light bouncing

It is possible to change the order of when the flash fires using "Rear Curtain Sync"

Removing flash from the top of the camera helps eliminate red eye and unflattering shadows
