English term or phrase: On-Camera Flash
Using on-camera flash outdoors

Speaking very broadly, there are two ways of using on-camera flash outside – either as:
– a slight fill-flash, or as
– a brute light source to lift the shadow areas of a subject to the same level as the sunlit areas.

Of course, in between that, there is a wide spectrum of possibilities, but for simplicity of explanation, we will concentrate here on those two scenarios.

Hay que tener en cuenta que no se trata de "built-in flash", aunque el flash "sí" esté incorporado o "integrado" en una cámara digital, la terminología de "on-camera" sería en oposición a "off-camera", cuando tienes un flash conectado a la cámara, pero separado de esta.
Véase en Wikipedia:

Using on-camera flash will give a very harsh light, which results in a loss of shadows in the image, because the only lightsource is in practically the same place as the camera. Balancing the flash power and ambient lighting or using off-camera flash can help overcome these issues. Using an umbrella or softbox (the flash will have to be off-camera for this) makes softer shadows.
