When I was hiking in the Sierra Nevada mountains last week, there was 
a group of kids (teens) with point-and-shoot cameras taking flash 
photos of Mt. Whitney - several miles away.  I've always wondered 
why, if they have the immediate feedback of digital, they don't 
realize the flash is doing nothing at that distance.  Same for crowds 
taking flash photos at football games!  The first thing you should 
learn when using a point-and-shoot digital is how to turn off the 
flash and leave it off!
