Flash is a complicated lighting technique that requires expertise to use properly. It provides short bursts of light to illuminate subjects. There are many different flash techniques and systems that photographers use to get the right exposure and lighting effects, including automatic flash, fill flash, rear curtain sync, slow shutter speeds, and external flash triggers. Flash can be used indoors or outdoors to balance or override ambient light.
