I was interested in ‘Fill Flash’ and came across a great article giving advice on the subject. In the past, whenever I used ‘Fill Flash’ the main subject came out OK but the lit background was very washed out and the remedy for this was negative compensation on the camera and positive compensation on the flash but of course the amount of compensation would entirely depend on how bright the background was.

As an experiment, I took a photo indoors of an object in a corner of the room but I wanted the scene outside the window to be properly exposed as well as the object in the shade and I underexposed the camera by 2 stops but overexposed my external flash by 2 and the result was nothing short of amazing.

I’m pretty new to photography so I’ve found your articles extremely useful and easy to understand

As for the rest of the settings, they’re all right here in this article.

Use the same settings that I’ve described above.

This happens sometimes. The thing I would recommend is to stop the lens way down and take a few pictures of solid color surfaces, then see if the hair is visible in the photos. If it is, you can send the lens off for service. If it’s not visible, don’t worry about it.
