How to take portraits with a ‘fill-in’ flash

How to:

1: Switch your camera to Program mode by turning the mode dial to ‘P’.

2: Popup your built-in flash. On some models you’ll press a button labelled with a lightening symbol, while on others you’ll manually lift the flash open. Check your manual.

3: Simply take the photo as before. Your camera will balance the light from the flash and the background.

4: If the person is now too bright, either set your flash compensation settings to a negative value, or simply stand back a little.

5: After taking your photo, push the flash back down for protection and if desired, set the mode dial back to Auto mode.
