BestVisuals Senior Member 763 posts Joined Apr 2007 More info | Mar 06, 2011 16:20 | #1 I'm looking at a G12...does anyone have flash-fill photos with the built-in flash? I'm aware the camera has a hotshoe for an external flash. I'm curious about how well the on-board flash works against a bright background such as a window. Any examples?

XHack, that's a great photo. Was it taken using the default settings? You're pretty much sold me on the camera... Canon 5D MK II, 24-105 L, Sigma 16mm fisheye

If your taking a picture of a subject with the sun facing the camera (behind the subject) you will have shadows on your subject with no flash. With fill flash, you are "filling" in those dark areas or shadows to make your subject stand out better or at least have the same brightness as the background. You can just set the camera flash to always on and give it a try but there are times you might need to turn the flash down. -----------Canon EOS R -----------
