Hi. Thanks to all on this board who are helping me learn how to use my A70. While I know how to adjust flash intensity on my SLR, the point-and-shoot concept is new for me. I know that flash intensity can be doctored (I use Paint Shop Pro) but this is time-consuming.
So, I'm wondering what tips people have. What mode do they use? I find that reducing flash output by 1/3 only works if you are VERY close to a subject. Am I to assume that using a wide-open aperture (2.8) I will get more natural/ambient light, thus perhaps less flash in the mix? I have tested this but cannot tell from the results (perhaps I am blind).
I have had some success by just getting much further away from the subject.
Tips from more experienced users are appreciated. Thank you...and Happy New Year.
