[QUOTE="desmobob, post: 778840, member: 45742"] Yesterday I was snowshoeing with friends and set up a quick photo on a hilltop with the background bright with snow and back-lit. I had my AF-S 24mm f/1.8G stopped down to f/2.2 to get the shutter speed down to 2000 and popped up the camera's flash for fill. It didn't go off. When I stopped down further, it did. I didn't review the images at the time so I didn't notice I didn't get the much-needed fill until it was too late to try again. I was just getting some casual snapshots so it was no big deal, but it is something I'll be more aware of in the future. I had inadvertently left the Auto ISO enabled and I don't know if that had anything to do with it. I got the flash fill (and busy background in focus) here: [ATTACH=CONFIG]371610._xfImport[/ATTACH] But not here: [ATTACH=CONFIG]371611._xfImport[/ATTACH] I guess with that lens I couldn't have softened the background focus much at f/2.2 anyway, but I wanted to try. Just another reminder for me to slow down and check all settings before I push the shutter release... 99% of the time that I screw up photos it's because I don't notice a single thing other than the subject when I look in the viewfinder. All the valuable information is there and I have to make myself remember to look at it! [/QUOTE]
