I've had my k10 for one year, and am just now starting to learn to use the flash!
I've learned about Flash Compensation
(fn menu, arrow down, spin rear dial), and have also learned that closing/opening aperture influences the effective range for the flash.
I've also learned that slow-speed sync
(fn menu, arrown down, select it, only in AV/P/SV modes) slows the shutter speed, thereby allowing in more ambient light, and eliminating the risk of dark corners/backgrounds.
What I am trying to understand is if/how metering comes into play .. and if so, what considerations I need to remember regarding shutter speed??
I was practicing in AV mode, and noticed that with the flash on,
no matter what changes I made to aperture, the SS remained constant at 1/45sec. However if I switched to slow-speed sync, the SS adjusted according to my aperture setting. Not sure what that tells me about things, but it was just an observation.
Anyone have any advice/instruction on using in-camera flash & shutter speed? There's something missing in my understanding of this, I just dont know it well enough to articulate a specific question!!
..Thanks ...
