[QUOTE="King Mustard, post: 824062, member: 12560"] I am a beginner and have no real interest in learning too much about cameras. I use my camera, a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_D3300']Nikon D3300[/URL] (with [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_AF-S_DX_Nikkor_18-105mm_f/3.5-5.6G_ED_VR']Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR[/URL] lens), in auto mode (minus flash) and it works well enough in daytime photos. I like using spot focus, the background blur looks nice. I want to start taking it to family events that take place in evenings, such as wedding parties, grandkid's discos etc, as smartphones camera LEDs are rubbish in low light environments. I recently bought a [URL='https://www.godox.com/product-d/TT685II.html']Godox TT685II-N[/URL] to 'replace' the camera's built-in flash. I have the flash in i-TTL mode and camera in auto (with flash). Is this all I have to do? Or do you suggest changing settings on the camera and/or flash? All I want is to pick up the camera and go, not mess with settings every time I want to take a photo.
