Next Wave Cameras May Use ‘Dark Flash’


Because clear photographs require a strong light source, cameras depend on an obnoxiously powerful flash in any environment with low lighting. What if we could circumvent the need for such an intense flash? What if we could take high-quality photos in poor light using an invisible flash?

There is a flash, but you barely notice it. And the photographs are just as good as those that rely on a regular flash, if not better.
