One of the most important things you need to know about your camera is how to control the flash. Personally, I don’t rely on the automatic flash that comes with the digital camera. Depending on the situation you are in you will need to switch off or switch on the flash.

For example, when taking outdoor photographs it is sometimes a good idea to turn on the flash to light up the subject, especially if he or she is in shadows. On the other hand, you might also want to turn off the flash when taking indoor shots. Oftentimes, using the flash indoors will result in unnatural skin color and harsh glare in your photos.
