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:

Without Digital Flash

With Digital Flash

Digital Flash is useful in situations like these:

zoutdoor scenes with a mixture of sun and shade

zcloudy days when there is a lot of “glare” from the sky

zindoor scenes that use flash photography (to soften or even out the effect of the flash)

zbacklit 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.
