[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 274850, member: 13090"] If I understand the situation correctly, I think what's happening is this... You're in full automatic so your camera is metering the shot base on the ambient light and says, "Oh my, low light. Need to crank the ISO to ensure good exposure!" Hence the relatively high ISO and subsequent noise in your shot. Yes, you have a flash attached and the TTL function will do what it can to balance the overall exposure but, and here's the critical thing: it attempts to balance the exposure [I]based on the ISO selected by the camera[/I]. I think the short answer to your question is that your camera can't assess the situation like you're asking it to when using full Auto. You could have controlled the ISO manually by setting it to, say for instance ISO200 or ISO400, thereby forcing the camera to compensate accordingly via the flash output.
