[QUOTE="paul_b, post: 219915, member: 15676"] - I take mainly photos of my child on my D3100 - Most are just family pics indoors - I obviously need the flash on when indoors - I don't use a tripod as she's on the constant move, lol - I don't like standing too far back & 'zooming in' because camera shake tends to become an issue (as its magnified). Therefore i prefer to get close. However my child's face is always 'blown out' by too much flash. So i'm experimenting with turning down the flash. However when i do this i tend to get dim images (i.e only filling half the histogram) - Any advice on how to get the correct exposure when the flash is turned down? - ps. i tend to use a semi automatic mode, ie either aperture or 'P' mode Thanks [/QUOTE]
