[QUOTE="voxmagna, post: 449791, member: 38477"] Thanks, I fully understand what you are saying. Sorry for being a new poster and asking a question more complex than I expected. Whilst I was trying to work this out for myself I remembered seeing small handy cams firing their (small) flashes in what I thought was reasonable daylight. But now I think about it, perhaps they were not defaulting to flash all the time but struggling to get focus as many do. Getting back finding shots out of focus with poor low light performance and high ISO noise is why I wanted to move to full frame DSLR, despite the bulk and weight load. As I said earlier, I can 'bend' shadows in post to get a dark brick arch foreground to look good whilst preserving the distant highlights. With ISO around 150 it is surprising how the shot can be compensated without too much additional noise. The other thing I am enjoying is using the f1.4 50mm prime lens with artificial indoor light. Zero problems with focus, acceptable noise without pushing up the ISO and no red eye! Thanks again - Vox [/QUOTE]
