Only use it if you're trying to fill shadows, but personally, I like to try to just use natural light.2) Stop using Auto. Take ONE picture of your subject with the "no flash" feature. Then go into "play" mode to view the photo and hit up or down arrow on your camera to see the histograms. Then take whatever settings you see there and go to manual mode and duplicate them. From there, take pictures with different speeds, ISO and fstop settings. See what looks best in photoshop.3) Take ALL photos in RAW or RAW+JPEG basic. You get better results post-prod.4) If at all possible, keep your ISO down. Don't set it higher than 400 in normal light settings. 5) Read your manual or go online to find out how to use the camera. There are a lot of settings you need to know about. And browse these forums for lots of tips and ideas.6) Take LOTS of pictures in one setting. You likely won't get one you like on one or two shots. 7) Shoot in continuous fire mode. This lets you take many pictures in a row to get the perfect pose/facial feature.8) Invest in a sturdy tripod and a smaller, more portable one, as well as a remote shutter trigger.9) Oh, stop using flash. And stop using auto. I'm for realz. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
