When photographing people or other subjects in bright sun, shadow areas can be so dark in the image that they show little or no detail. If the shadow covers a large part of the subject, the effect can be distracting and unattractive. You can lighten such shadows by using flash to "fill" the shadows to lighten them. In this mode the flash fires even when there is enough available light to take the picture.

With no fill flash the bright background has underexposed the main subjects. Using fill flash, the people now stand out from the background.
