Hi,
I have a Nikon D50 camera. I have been using the camera for a month or so and I haven´t been able to use the built-in flash properly, or perhaps there is something wrong with it.
I have mostly shot at night using the aperture mode, and my only complain is that the flash "overpowers" itself. I mean, I take a picture and the flash overexposes the taken image. What do you suggest me to do ?? I have set up the flash in automatic mode and at the same time lowered its exposition level to -3 stops - (didn´t work, the images come out overexposed); and I have also used it in manual at 1/16th of its power (the lowest for manual), and it still overexposes the image - (also didn´t work!!!).
What can I do ??? I want to take pictures of people, and that they may be dimmly illuminated by the flash, so it gives a more natural feeling at night of the pictures being taken. I have seen pictures taken with a Canon camera and the pictures are nice flash balanced, is Nikon also supposed to balance flash lights properly like Canon ???.
In advance, thank you very much for your help,
Ignacio.
