A person uses a camera and takes a photo... and the flash wasn't off. The resulting flash either blinds the unfortunate recipient of said photo or makes them see spots. This can be used as a handy distraction or even as a nasty form of Improvised Weapon. Truth in Television, as anyone who's ever had to take a school photo or have been at an area with a lot of flash photography can attest. Sub-Trope of Blinded by the Light. Compare Weaponized Camera where this effect may be exploited in a combat situation. See also Epileptic Flashing Lights, in which multiple, quick, successive flashes are used to disorient, and Blinded by the Sun. The Paparazzi may cause this when photographing a target. |

Cheers: In "Backseat Becky", one of the many obstacles in Rebecca's way is that when she and Evan Drake are alone is a photographer blinding her with a camera. As she's complaining about the flash, Drake walks off. In the episode with Woody and Kelly's wedding, Cliff's camera had an ultra-bright flash. |

Plan 7 of 9 from Outer Space. Captain Proton opens the door to his hotel room and thinks he's been ambushed when a blinding flash of light goes off in his face. Instead of a supervillain with a Ray Gun, it's Intrepid Reporter Buster Kincaid, whom Proton dubs "The Flash" for his habit of doing this trope to everyone he meets. At the climax of their adventure, Proton is being held at gunpoint by the villain who insists that Buster record him killing Earth's greatest hero. Turns out Buster is actually a secret agent with the appropriate gadgetry. | |

Accidentally happens in Hoodwinked! when Twitchy takes one of these photos in the Wolf's face. "Would you put that away?! It's covert, no flash!" Twitchy promptly puts the flashbulb away. He then accidentally swallows the bulb, and the next time he opens his mouth it flashes in Red's face. | |

Discworld: In The Colour of Magic, Bel-Shamharoth is defeated from the flash of Twoflower's iconograph going off. As a bonus there's even a photograph later, it's mostly of Rincewind's thumb with a few tentacles waving around at the edges. Exaggerated by Otto von Chriek ever since his introduction in The Truth. He's a vampire who loves photography. As a result, whenever he takes a flash photo, it results in his demise until blood is poured on his ashes. He's tried a few solutions, but not using the flash hasn't been one of them. |

Twice used in Sonic Boom. In "Next Top Villain", Dave takes a pic of himself to celebrate his presumed victory, only to blind himself and lose control of his stolen Octopus Bot long enough for Sonic to stop it. In the first season finale "It Takes a Village to Defeat a Hedgehog", after Shadow beats the tar out of Sonic and has him at his mercy, fanboy Eggman decides to take a premature "victory selfie" with him as celebration for finally defeating his archnemesis... and he forgets to turn the camera's flash off, blinding Shadow. Even worse, Sonic's down but not out, so he gets back up, runs over to Shadow, and knocks him away with a wicked right uppercut while he can't do anything to stop it, causing the dark hedgehog to abandon the fight because he can't take Sonic down properly with Eggman around. Whoops. |

Ultraman 80 has a Monster of the Week, Alien Argo, an alien imposter who infiltrates the human world by posing as an esteemed researcher and public speaker. However he's extremely sensitive against flashing lights, getting paralyzed by fear when being photographed by paparazzis while in the form of a human — this allows Ultraman Eighty's human form, Takeshi Yamato, to deduce the researcher to be an alien imposter and in the final battle, use his natural Ultra-light to turn the tide of battle. | |

In the Monk episode "Mr. Monk and the Bully", when Monk and Natalie follow Roderick Brody's wife to a bar, Monk tries to take a photo with a very old and out-of-date camera. Due to the dim lighting, he installs a flashcube. To take the picture in question, he has Natalie stand a spoon on its end and photographs the reflection. Of course, the result is a flash bright enough that it causes Monk and Natalie, and possibly the audience, to squint their eyes for a few seconds to counteract the sudden brightness. | |

In the Goofy cartoon "How to Play Football", a player is blinded by flashbulbs and fumbles the ball. He scores only because no one else can catch the ball, and he eventually stumbles upon it at the goal line. | |

Exaggerated by Otto von Chriek ever since his introduction in The Truth. He's a vampire who loves photography. As a result, whenever he takes a flash photo, it results in his demise until blood is poured on his ashes. He's tried a few solutions, but not using the flash hasn't been one of them. | |

In Trigun Stampede, Meryl (a reporter in this version, and aided by her mentor) rescues Vash from E.G. the Mine by blinding E.G. with her camera, grabbing onto him while he's distracted, and refusing to let go or be shaken off — forcing him to disarm all the bombs he's planted if he wants to avoid being blown up with her. | |

Weaponized in Debt of Honor, when Clark and Chavez, posing as geologists, are tasked with capturing a dangerous African warlord while surrounded by the warlord's men. Chavez pulls out what looks like a specialized light system, claiming that it's for photography, and then asks to take a picture of the warlord. The flash is so bright that everyone standing within range is incapacitated for about 5 minutes, more than enough time for Clark and Chavez to tie up all the guards. It's later used to save the Japanese Prime Minister, but because it was intended for an outdoor environment, Chavez gets dazed by the flash himself. It's also used as a directed weapon to blind two pilots at a critical moment of landing, from a distance of several hundred feet, causing both planes to crash. | |

Spelunky can give the player a camera which will stun enemies (or kill them if they're weak enough); when used on the indestructible Ghost, it causes him to pause briefly and pose. The flash can also be used to illuminate darkened levels. | |

Doctor Who: "Boom Town": A reporter takes a photo of Margaret Blaine, resulting in a photo of her holding up a hand in front of her face in irritation. The Doctor is alerted to her presence when he sees this photo on the front page of the local newspaper. In "Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror", the Doctor uses an old camera found on the Skithra ship to temporarily blind the Queen and some of her minions so she, Yaz and Tesla can teleport away. |

The second stage in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game had a unique paparazzi enemy, every snap of the flashbulb stunned your character (the ability was even called 'flash stun' in the credits) it doesn't do damage but stalls the character enough to let other enemies gang up on you. | |

Frasier: Martin Crane's infamous "Scheerblad 7XK", which is described by Niles and Frasier as, "the Blindingest, Noisiest, 15lbs Camera, ever produced in the former Soviet Union!" and "The Old Flash and Wind", respectively. The flash is so strong, it practically pushed people backwards from the force of it. At one point Frasier even uses the flash to escape an awkward moment when he blabs to Daphne about some of Niles's old flames before her; using the momentary explosion of light to blind his family as he runs like a girl out the door. The episode's credits, show many photos taken with the camera, in which everybody pictured is washed out, screaming, with their eyes bugging out of their heads. The final picture being Frasier with a crazed and furious look on his face, charging Martin to grab and presumably destroy the offending camera. | |
