35. FLASH IN DAYLIGHT
When taking pictures in back light, the subject is affected by
strong background light and dark (underexposures) subjects
may result. Properly lit pictures can easily be obtained by using
flash even in daylight. This technique is known as fill-flash.
When the Speedlite PX, 300P or 260P are used on the
camera, professional daylight fill-flash pictures can be
automatically accomplished even by novice photographers.
