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?
I read, in the owner's manual, that the flash option in the white balance setting should be chosen.
Is this that simply the correct way or am I missing something(s)?
Thank you to all for any feedback.
If the face is very close it can be a real problem with flash as simple as the built in one. You can try:
1) Lock the exposure metering to focus point in custom options.
2) Set flash exposure compensation to -1 or so.
3) Make sure the ISO value is low and aperture is high enough (closed).
Getting a more advanced flash is another possibility.
Hey Elhocid!
Thanks for the reply.
Well, I have been browsing through the owner's manual -again- and played with a few buttons, as you suggested, on the K10D; I think I may have something to work with now. 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!
Cheers and thanks again.
