[QUOTE="Moviesla, post: 456522, member: 39230"] Wayne, thanks for your great reply. I'm new to this forum and yesterday was my first post and didn't realize I wasn't including enough data with my picture. About me: I would say I'm more of an advance amateur that the category they offer here of Semi-Pro. I'm now retired: 42+ years as a Kodak rep (25 calling on pro labs in the Midwest, 25 working in the motion picture industry in Hollywood). The last film camera I owned, which I loved, was the Nikon F2A using a 50mm f/1.4 plus other lens. Digital capture is slowly growing on me. My new D5500 has so many variables that it sometimes excites me and still overwhelms me. I'm slowly getting it. This flash picture problem is a typical challenge. It sounds like you are telling me to get out of any Auto setting because I do notice the ISO is shooting way up when indoors. And I understand you recommend M mode for all indoor flash using about 1/200 shutter, f/5.6 or f/8, and setting ISO at 400. Can I assume any other adjustment would be the flash compensation setting for varying distances? I have attached a jpeg file (if you can read it) with the data on that picture if that helps. Again, thanks for your assistance Stan [/QUOTE]
