Use of flash lighting

When taking a photo inside or in a slightly dark enviroment, the digital camera will recommend to use its own internal flash to brighten the scene for you. Once the photo has been taken and loaded on to the computer they can look very dark and the image turns out not as planned. The image below has been taken with the cameras own flash:


The background has come out very dark and not very accurate to what the actual light was at the time. The next photo that was taken was with no flash used, but instead the exsposure compensation was used to increase the sensitivity to light, this means that the camera would increase the amount of light that it captures:


While the picture is slightly blurred you can see how much lighter the image is over all, this picture and the lighting in it, are almost identical to the living area where it was taken. While we at print digital are not saying to never use the flash on the camera, it is always worth while remembering the other features that the camera offes when lighting a shot in a dark enviroment.
