Taken with flash under fluorescent lighting - the flash has caused a hot spot when reflected on the glass jar - perhaps would be better with diffusion but off camera lighting would be better.
The flash has reflected off the copper pot but has also caused harsh shadows behind it.
The flash has reflected on the shiny surface of this kettle but I think because it is 'brushed' there are not the same hotspots.
The flash has not washed out this statue but you can see the strong outline shadow on the left side.
The subject looks too bright against the darkened background, the flash has lightened the face and burnt out the shirt.
Taken with flash in a room lit by tungsten bulbs - perhaps still needs some brightening but the colours are warm and deep.
Taken with flash only, the colours are a little drained and very dark background.
I am not sure the flash made any difference to this shot as the camera has darkened the light shades and ceiling to expose for the bulbs?
I don't think there are many situations in which built-in flash is best if there is another option. i think it is about convenience and having it to hand. It is very limited but can still enable you to get a shot you may not have done otherwise. Built-in flash is probably best used for a short distance away but still with some distance from the background to avoid harsh shadows as well as too brightly lit foreground.
