But to know how to compensate these disadvantages, the first thing is to establish what the real problem is the flash itself, or its proximity to the camera?
With that in mind, the best thing we can do is get a separate flash. Even at arm's length to improve performance, there are some precautions you can take to reduce some of the negative effects of integrated flash ...
For example, maximizing available light (natural or artificial), using the greatest possible openness. Note that this will also require adjustment of shutter speed to ensure the sharpness of the image. And in this case, it is important to avoid the movement to take the picture, so use a tripod because it can be useful.
Another issue has to do with the background selected by using the built in flash. It is very common to see images in which the subject leaves with a dark edge when it casts a shadow behind him. So it's better to use a dark background, mimicking a lot of that kind of natural shade.
Put into practice these simple tips and do not let the built-in flash illumination ruin your photographs!
