Why doesn my point-and-shoot digital camera take dental closeup photographs?
The main issue is the camera’s flash. The flash location is fixed on all point-and-shoot digital cameras. It is impossible for a flash that is located in a single position to properly illuminate all of the types of photographs that are taken in a dental office. One way to visualize this fact is to think of a 35mm dental camera that uses a point flash. The point flash on a 35mm camera is designed to rotate around the end of the lens so that you can direct the light from the flash properly for different views. If you use the built-in flash on a point-and-shoot digtial camera, you may be able to properly illuminate certain views, but you will not be able to get consistent balanced illumination across the field for all dental views.
