Digital Flash
This setting balances the relationship between bright and dark
areas in a picture, preserving gentle contrasts but compressing
harsh contrasts. Some areas in the picture are lightened, while
others are left alone. Here is an example of how Digital Flash
can enhance an image:
Digital Flash is useful in situations like these:
z
outdoor scenes with a mixture of sun and shade
z
cloudy days when there is a lot of “glare” from the sky
z
indoor scenes that use flash photography (to soften or even
out the effect of the flash)
z
backlit scenes where the subject is too far away for the
regular flash to reach
NOTE You can use Digital Flash with or without regular flash,
but it is not recommended as a replacement for regular
flash. Unlike regular flash, Digital Flash does not affect
exposure settings, so brightened areas may appear
“noisy” or grainy, and indoor or night images may be
blurry if taken without a regular flash or a tripod.
