We Use Olympus Cameras And Yes There Is A Flash On This Particular Pic.The Picture Has Been Enhanced and As For The Smoke,Its Not Smoke,And Its Not Smudging.There Has Been Some people Saying It Is Cigarette Smoke,Fog,,ETC.......NO! It Is Not.It Is A Ectoplasmic Mist That Was Able To Gather Enough Energy From Its Surroundings To Begin To Manifest And There Is Another Pic On Here With The Ectoplasmic Mist.Hope This Helps Thanx
