[QUOTE="wornish, post: 366489, member: 15434"] With the built in flash you are very limited in what can be done. Perhaps putting a bit of thin white gauze in front of the actual flash might help but not a great deal. You can compensate for the vignetting caused by the flash in Post Processing by using a radial filter to increase the exposure in the darker areas. If you attach a separate flash gun then you can do a lot more, again there are increasing levels of complexity that you can use to get better results. The easiest method is to direct the flash to bounce off a large white surface like a ceiling or a wall. You can also attach a diffuser on the flash as well to soften the effect. Ideally the flash should be mounted on a bracket so it is some way from the camera lens. Or better still but a lot more complex use multiple flashes mounted on stands around the subject and trigger them in command mode using the on camera flash as the master. Using flash well is a whole subject of its own. [/QUOTE]
