Use of flash is really not necessary if you have enough natural light or other artificial lights in the surrounding.. The majority of on-camera flashes are harsh, have poor range, and have few settings to adjust. The result is an unnatural photo that looks like your subject is beneath a spotlight.
You can find a lot of techniques on adjusting the camera's settings and other advices on shooting perfect pictures without using the flash, on a lot of photography websites like http://ephotozine.com
