Can someone tell me how to reduce the 40D's onboard flash ... or are the choices just on or off (without degrees like -1, -1.3, -2, etc.) ... and maybe I should post this is the beginner's forum (I'm new here), but the 40D is an older model, so any advice in this thread would be great.

Thanks; I am trying to read the PDF, but I have a steep learning curve ahead, having never shot Canon DSLR before. I'm still a little lost but trying out shots anyway.

Shot this with my 40D + 24-105 + B+W 3.0 ND filter at 30 seconds... At around noon today. :) Love having a filter I can use during the day to show motion.

Look up Flash Exposure Compensation in the manual. It will explain it very clearly. Basically, push the "flash" button near the top LCD and turn the dial on the back of the camera. You will see the flash power raising or lowering on the scale that is displayed on the top LCD.

The scale is in 1/3 stops so if you need to dial in 1 1/3 stops, take the indicator down 4 lines..... increasing it would be the opposite. This also works with a hot shoe flash and if you are using a TTL flash, you can force more or less than the TTL is trying to dictate.

There is a lot of information on the web about FEC and how to use it.

Hope that helps some.
