pop-up flash
Camera's hidden light
A pop-up flash is a small built-in flash unit on a camera that springs up from the body when activated.
Found on many consumer and mid-range cameras, it provides basic illumination for low-light situations but produces harsh, direct light that often creates unflattering shadows or red-eye.
Serious photographers typically prefer external flash units for better control and softer results.
