Of course, a better portrait-inside lens would help, as well as a good flash unit ... any recommendations as long as I get a good price-quality deal!<br /> Cheers and thanks again. </p> http://pentaxlife.com/forum/topic/139#post-498 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 17:13:38 +0000 elhocid 498@http://pentaxlife.com/forum/ <p>If the face is very close it can be a real problem with flash as simple as the built in one. You can try:<br /> 1) Lock the exposure metering to focus point in custom options.<br /> 2) Set flash exposure compensation to -1 or so.<br /> 3) Make sure the ISO value is low and aperture is high enough (closed).<br /> Getting a more advanced flash is another possibility. </p> http://pentaxlife.com/forum/topic/139#post-496 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 19:50:10 +0000 Pentaxdc 496@http://pentaxlife.com/forum/ <p>Does anyone have suggestions on how to properly use the built-in flash on the K10D, assuring that the photo will not be rendered with an overpowering light-flood on the subject's face?<br /> I read, in the owner's manual, that the flash option in the white balance setting should be chosen.<br /> Is this that simply the correct way or am I missing something(s)?<br /> Thank you to all for any feedback. </p>
