Shooting A Subject In Daylight Shadow (Daylight Synchro) - Olympus CAMEDIA E 10 Instructions Manual

Shooting a Subject in Daylight Shadow
(Daylight Synchro)
Even with sufficient light on the subject (when the flash warning
viewfinder), you can set the flash to fire and reduce daylight shadows on the subject and
take a beautiful picture.
When the background is brighter
than the subject, the subject could
become dark or the background
could wash out.
If you use the flash, both the
subject and the background can
be shot with the correct exposure.

When you see shadows on your subject in strong
daylight, use the fill-in flash mode to reduce the
shadows. You can also use the fill-in flash on a
subject which could appear too dark against a strong
backlight. In such situations, if you use the fill-in flash
at high noon to brighten the subject you can capture
both the subject and the background clearly. In either
case, you can achieve a catch light effect by the
reflection of the light in the subject's eyes to enliven
the appearance of your subject.
