      Isabella ParkerAug 13, 2025
      If your FujiFilm Digital Camera picture is too dark because the subject was too far for flash photography in a dark place, ensure you shoot within the specified coverage distance of the electronic flash. Also, avoid covering the flash with your finger. If the subject was backlit, turn on the backlight compensation flash mode and press the shutter release button.
