My camera is a Canon G12. I don't have a fancy add-on flash.

My main problems are:

  1. how can I get better images with the built-in flash in the Canon G12?
  2. What techniques can I use to make the built-in flash a bigger light source so that the image is softer and better?

    I don't think anything in the answers is really specific to that, though. Built-in flash either way. – mattdm Jul 16 '12 at 19:59
  • just a side note, you don't have to put html break line tags when you format your question, simply hit the return key – K'' Jul 17 '12 at 04:54

I find that the main problem with built-in flashes is that they give a very harsh light.

Try making or buying a diffuser / deflecter. If you have some spare white plastic or translucent plastic, cut a piece and experiment with some blu-tac or tape.
