Abstract
A method for taking a photograph with a camera having a flash light exposure, a natural light exposure, and an automatic selection where the camera can automatically select the flash or natural light exposure, depending upon photographic conditions. This method comprises the steps of determining distances from the camera to objects in a photographic view, detecting luminances of those objects, and activating the camera for taking a photograph of some of the objects with a flash light exposure and of others of the objects with a natural light exposure when the distances and the luminances of the objects are in a certain condition.
