Long Answer:Part 1: My personal suggestion is that you learn to use your flash with your camera in Manual mode. This will make everything sooo much easier and give you the most control over your flash photography.

Your flash supports TTL so you can try putting the flash in the hot-shoe, selecting &quot;A&quot;perture Priority mode, turning off Auto-ISO if it's enabled and instead setting the ISO manually (ISO 100 or 200 should be a good starting point). Now select a reasonable aperture for the conditions you're shooting in and... You're off to the races. You'll probably want to brush up on how to use Exposure Compensation as well as Flash Exposure Compensation if you go this route.</blockquote>
