The use of flash (shooting skills and precautions)

Flash is a common auxiliary tool for photography, which can provide extra light for the scene and make the photos brighter and clearer. However, there are also some skills and precautions when using flash, which will be introduced below.

Choose the right flash.

When buying a flash, you should choose the corresponding flash according to your camera brand and model. There may be compatibility problems between different cameras and flashlights. If you are not sure whether it is compatible, you'd better consult a professional or consult relevant materials.

In addition, you should choose the appropriate flash according to your shooting needs. If you just take ordinary family photos, a relatively simple flash can meet the demand. If you are taking professional photos, you need to consider the output power and adjustment mode of the flash.

Precautions in using flash

The intensity of the flash can be controlled by adjusting the output power. When shooting, the intensity of flash should be adjusted according to the shooting environment, and overexposure or underexposure should be avoided.

Generally speaking, the flash should be placed on the top or side of the camera to avoid directly illuminating the subject. At the same time, pay attention to the angle of the flash, so that the light it illuminates can cover the whole picture evenly.
