Most digital cameras have a built in flash that automatically fires when the lighting situation dictates that its necessary. Luckily, most of the time this is a good thing. However there are some instances when the flash either a) doesnt fire when you need it to (causing a picture to appear underexposed) or b) fires when you rather it didnt (causing a picture to appear overexposed). These situations can cause your photographs to be less than perfect. While some of these problematic pictures can be corrected later using your favorite digital photo editing program, you can learn to avoid these situations in the first place by taking the time to learn how to manipulate your cameras flash and recognizing when you might need to do so.
