A small device usually built into digital cameras that emits a brief burst of light to illuminate poorly lit scenes.
Known as a flash gun, strobe, or speed light, it consists of a gas-filled tube that is fired by an electrical charge. It can be mounted directly on the camera hot shoe (which links the shutter firing to the flash firing), or on a bracket or stand and be connected to the camera via a sync cord.
a unit which produces a very bright flash of light, which lasts only for a short time. The electronic flash is caused by a high voltage discharge between two electrodes enclosed in a glass cylindrical bulb containing an inert gas such as argon or krypton. Flashes
Light source based on electrical discharge across two electrodes in a gas-filled tube. Usually designed to provide light approximating to daylight. It is often regarded as artificial light souce in the dark. Electronic flash requires a high voltage, usually obtained from batteries through a voltage-multiplying circuit. It discharges a brief, intense burst of light, usually used where the lighting on the scene is inadequate for picture-taking. They are generally considered to have the same photographic effect as daylight. Most flash will correct the color temperature back to 5000 kelvin - the daylight color. You can play around with filters mounting on the flash head for some specific effects or alter the color if necessary. Modern flash has multiple TTL flash exposure control functions and even extend to autofocus control. Some specialized flash are high speed repeating flash which can use for strobocopic effect, UV-flash for ultra violet light photography etc.
a tube containing gas that produces a brief, brilliant flash of light when electrified and is reusable. Also called a strobe
a device that stores electrical energy in capacitors over an extended period of time and then discharges it in a brief period of time through a tube most often filled with Xenon or by a simple discharge over an air gap
This piece of equipment produces light by firing an electric current through a gas filled tube. The tube then yields light. Generally operated by batteries, they have virtually replaced flash bulbs.
Light source consisting of a high voltage discharge through a special tube which gives a fast brilliant flash and can be used many hundreds of times.
Artificial light source that aids the taking of photographs in darker situations. This light is based on an electrical discharge across two electrodes in a gas filled tube.
Designed to provide light where the lighting on the scene is insufficient. Electronic flash requires high voltage, usually obtained through batteries and a voltage-multiplying circuit which discharge a brief, intensive burst. Generally considered to have the same photographic effect as daylight. Modern flash units have multiple TTL exposure control functions and auto focus control.
A camera accessory that provides a brief but powerful flash of light. A battery-powered unit requires occasional recharging or battery replacement.
Artificial light source produced by an electrical discharge traveling between two electrodes through a gas-filled tube. The light from electronic flash is approximately the same color as daylight.
small device, usually built into digital cameras, that emits a brief burst of light to provide illumination.
artificial lighting produced by an electronic discharge in a gas filled tube. A single tube can produce a large number of flashes.
