Camera-mounted lights, though easy to find and relatively inexpensive, may not be the best answer to your indoor lighting problems. You--and your subjects--will be happier with multiple light sources spread around the scene. Try these tips.
  • Turn on a few more lamps.
  • Replace some of the low-wattage bulbs in the room with some 75- or 100-watt ones.
  • Bring in a desk light and position it close to the action.
Do whatever it takes to bring the overall light level of the room up to a decent range.
