T.D. Moderator  More info | Dec 20, 2008 00:04 | #6811 I think he tendency when just starting with the flash is to try and "force" a good shutter speed through the use of ISO. But when you use the flash (using M on the camera), just set your shutter speed to the flash sync speed (1/250 on your camera, I believe) then adjust from there. Does that make sense?

I was in M.... But didn't totally connect/disconnect the idea in my head that I was inside and wouldn't need a higher ISO since *I* was setting the shutter speed. I couldn't get it to go to 1/250... I could only get it to 1/200... Jenn, gone back to novice photographer...

That way, if there is any ugliness in the background, it's minimized and just your subjects are lit up. Make sense?
