[QUOTE="Rexer John, post: 220064, member: 12691"] What aperture is your typical shot taken at? Each stop of light lost through the lens, needs double the flash power to compensate. Stronger ambient lighting and a large aperture will require less flash power (maybe even no flash with large aperture and a raised ISO) it will also give good bokeh to reduce background distractions in your photos. Are you using the kit lens? This will struggle with kids running around indoors. A faster prime lens, e.g. 1.8 aperture will give much better results indoors where you also need a quick shutter.
