Fill-in flash
A secondary source of light provided by a flash. On many cameras that include a built-in flash unit, a fill-flash capability is available as an optional extra. With it you may soften shadows on foreground subjects, helping to prevent difficulties with backlighting. Fill-in flash can also be utilized to enhance the colors and contrast of foreground subjects, and this is especially useful when the ambient lighting is lacking.
