[QUOTE="paul_b, post: 350831, member: 15676"] I'm going to read your replies a few times and try and learn what you've said as you obviously know your stuff, and its fascinating. Having said that though, one of my weaknesses is knowing what to think when trying to capture an image, as most of photos are of my 4 yo child and she is always bloody moving, and so i find myself wanting to take snaps quickly and without thinking. Sometimes i just want to pick up the camera turn it on and snap. Am i safe in saying that if i want to reduce the flash power indoors to stop it brightening my subject too much that i can do so, but should make up for the light loss by increasing ISO to compensate. In increasing ISO the permanent orange incandescent lights would become the main lights and so its important to use an orange filter on the flash to match, if i want to be able to correct white balance accurately? I'm going to try the flash outdoors too from now on then. That should be interesting. [/QUOTE]
