Second, unlike a controlled studio environment, ambient light is constantly changing, and changing ambient light also requires variable flash output. The complexity associated with on-camera flash in a photographic film setting is threefold:įirst, the camera and model are constantly moving (or at least have the potential to move) and moving subjects require variable flash outputs.
