TTl flash - fill flash - d70
Could someone give me another bit of advice, thanks
Just say I want to take a photo of a flower/person but the lighting is dull(sky grey) etc, if I set the d70 to "p" how do I set the flash up just to fill (if there is such a thing). Could someone explain ttl flash that comes with the d70 or point me to a website that explains in english. Thanks guys, sorry if the question is stupid |

Could someone give me another bit of advice, thanks Just say I want to take a photo of a flower/person but the lighting is dull(sky grey) etc, if I set the d70 to "p" how do I set the flash up just to fill (if there is such a thing). That is not exactly fill flash, its more a matter of there not being enough available light, or the available light not providing enough contrast. It can be tricky to get the balance just right, but the D70 can do a pretty good job on its own. Just raise the flash and shoot. If the results are not satisfactory experiment using either exposure compensation or flash exposure compensation (if the light from the flash seems too dominant, which would make the background, lit only by available light, disappear into the darkness once you have the subject correctly exposed) until you get the results you like. For actual fill flash (where there is plenty of availble light, but it is too contrasty, putting unsatisfactorily deep shadows on part of the subject) use flash exposure compensation, probably about -2.0 stops, or whatever makes the subject look best. Flash exposure compensation is accessed by holding down the button you use to raise the flash, and rotating the front command wheel, unless you have used the menu to reverse the functions of the front and rear command wheels. -- Apteryx Treat anger like gold.
