One can see flashes from cameras hundreds of feet away in big sports events or concerts. The built-in flash only has 20 to 30 feet range.

The use of flash is misunderstood by many novice
photographers. One can see flashes from cameras
hundreds of feet away in big sports events or
concerts. The built-in flash only has 20 to 30 feet
range. In contrast, on sunny days, one does not see
the flash in operation when taking photos.

3.  The flash should not be used in big sports
events or concerts. It will not light up a person
that is hundred feet away and will not help to
obtain better photos. Instead it will drain the
battery of the camera quickly. But the flash
should be used on a sunny day, especially
when taking photos of people. The flash will “in-
fill” the dark or shade areas, which is caused
by the harsh sun light. Using the flash will
eliminate the “raccoon eye” effect. This is
opposite instinct of a novice photographer. In
order to improve the end result, the novice
photographers have to learn new skills.
