This is what it's for:
In digital photography, the
high sensitivity of the CCD
sensor may result in
relatively bright flash
pictures.
This is why you should
experiment with flash
exposure compensation –
described at left – as well as
with slow sync that brings
out weaker background
illumination in addition to
your flash-illuminated
foreground subject.
Be sure to experiment with
all available flash modes –
it's worth your while! Digital
photography is instan-
taneous: You will see your
picture right after you take
it. So you can repeat it at
will, if necessary. And your
pictures will surely benefit
from mastery of the
different flash modes.
