[QUOTE="grandpaw, post: 236362, member: 8635"] [INDENT] Many times you might be shooting with your on camera flash whether it is the built in flash or one attached to the hot shoe. There will be times when you need to adjust the power of the flash. I will tell you how to do this the easiest and fastest way so you can turn the power up and down in a few seconds. When you are using the on board flash or a speed-light all you need to do is have the flash on TTL and use modes "M", "A", or "S" and if you find the output of the flash is too high just press the EV + or - button near the shutter button and rotate the thumb wheel on the rear of the camera. You can see the change in the viewfinder, top or rear LCD screens. Doing this will allow you to raise or lower the power of the flash by 5 stops. This comes in very handy if you are using flash and the subject is up close. As always you need to remember to change it back to zero or the normal default position when finished. The picture below was taken with on camera flash at about two feet away and by adjusting the flash the picture was not blown out. This was taken this morning and is straight out of the camera with zero adjustments except to re-size so I could post it. It was also taken in one shot and the she took off.
