    Using Flash Control Compensation The camera can automatically adjust the flash intensity according to the brightness of the subject, light reflected from the subject, and the camera-to-subject distance, and because of this the image of a subject could appear too bright or too dark. In such cases you can use flash control compensation to capture images that are not too bright or too dark.

    Achieving Natural Color (White Balance) The source of incident light on the subject affects color. For example, the same sheet of white paper held under sunlight may appear tinged with red when held under an incandescent light. Because the human eye adapts to the colors of source light, it perceives the sheet as white in both cases.
