[QUOTE="dtownley1, post: 574796, member: 20564"] yep, that's what I discovered last year when doing some product shots at work. When you have auto exposure, using flash will usually set the shutter to 1/60. However, you can still get great shots at slower shutter speeds on manual (with the help of a tripod) under the same lighting conditions - it just means that the flash will be less prominent. Since we didn't have a proper photography studio at work, I had to use flash and ambient light from the room and/or windows to help (I know white balance and colours would be all over the place, but this was mostly for monthly flyer work) Turning the flash down if possible (or using a tissue to cover it) can help too. Also, "how the camera thinks" can vary depending on the exposure settings. Depending on the subject, spot focus will give a different reading to a matrix (overall) reading. [/QUOTE]
