no flash

No bright burst

No flash is a restriction on photography using a camera's flash, typically posted in museums, theaters, and other venues where bright bursts of light could damage artwork, disturb performers, or annoy others: The sign said no flash, so I adjusted my camera settings.

Flash photography can fade pigments over time and startle wildlife, which is why zoos and galleries enforce the rule.
