Flash - Samsung Digital Camera Pocket Manual

THE NX SYSTEM

FLASH

The built-in and accessory flash units do a whole lot
more than just illuminate dark subjects...
Use the automatic in-built flash or an
accessory flash to shoot in low light
conditions, to add fill-in light and soften
shadows in bright sunshine, and to add an
attractive catchlight into people's eyes to
make them sparkle. You can also use flash
to 'freeze' a moving subject and to increase
colour saturation in an image, for example,
shooting a portrait that is backlit by sunshine.
In the automatic modes the camera sets the
flash for you, but you do have some creative
options too. For example, increasing the flash
power for more distant or darker subjects,
2nd Curtain for low light movement and
high-speed flash.

Get too close and your flash will overpower a subject and bleach it out
and the lens will cast a shadow too.
DON'T FORGET: 2ND CURTAIN FLASH
For moving subjects in low light use the 2nd Curtain option as the flash
fires at the end of the exposure and 'freezes' any movement.
THE POCKET GUIDE TO THE SAMSUNG NX
Red-eye prevents people in
your portraits getting the
red-eyed effect. It fires a
burst of light to close their
pupils and then takes the
picture.
