Flash is too bright
I have a Canon A520 and a Sony DSC H1. When shooting
indoors, both cameras invariably shoot too bright - the flash is too much for the setting. The Sony has a setting for lowering the flash but even with that set, many indoor photos are overexposed he because of the flash. And this is often true for the Canon as well. Is there a trick? A way around this? Is there another setting one could use to compensate somehow? I have a Nikon film camera with a built in flash and it never creates this problem. And yet, I've seen several digitals do so. Help? TIA Louise |

OTOH, I have an old Olympus D-460 (1.3 Megapixle) that does an admirable job regarding flash (including fill). My Panasonic FZ 10 does an OK job but not quite as good as the old Olympus. One thing I would pay close attention too is the ISO settings. Lower settings seem to work better for me. JT |
