[QUOTE="sidewinder1009, post: 59351, member: 9785"] Fill in flash can be a bit sketchy as the surrounding or back drop will rarely have the same white balance. It depends on your range from the camera to the subject and brightness of the background but the basic principle is to meter for the surrounding area or background either -manually or by AE-lock, if you are only using it for snapshots, say your kids with a sunset behind them then night portrait mode on SCENE will do the job for you. Its really a situation based problem though i would recommend a flash diffuser as you will rarely us bounce flash with fill in and direct flash can bleach colour from most subjects. diffuser's are available for about £5-10 [URL]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maxim-Diffuser-YONGNUO-YN-468-Supplies/dp/B004YL621W/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1339005728&sr=8-2-spell[/URL] i can't find a useful tutorial online.
