This was really helpful. I just got a Canon Powershot A590 IS and I didn't even know what half of the buttons meant. I've been mostly relying on my indoor lighting and other people's home lighting to get good shots.

Okay, shutter priority, rear curtain, flash on. Why not manual mode with shutter set for long exposure and f/stop of choice? Only problem I see is bouncing the flash when the ceiling or wall is too far away. What about white balance? Set for flash, auto,?
I tried this once at a wedding but the ceilings were so high I couldn’t get enough light on the subject from the flash.

I would most definitely NOT recommend that for weddings, as the above picture shows.. it’s blurry and would not want that in my album. Dragging the shutter provides cool effects, but just because you are firing a flash doesn’t guarantee a crisp photo every time, or a great one.

I would recommend playing around the manual mode on both flash and camera, hands down, and control the output of the flash based on your own experience.

Flash freezes your subject, rear curtain helps prevent ghosting? Great tip for indoor / reception type stuff – where the light is simply no fun 80% of the time.

Tv = Canon speak for Shutter Priority.

Rear Curtain is the same as 2nd Curtain (there’s only 2 curtains, front and rear – 1st and 2nd).

It’s a good method to use though, you can get all the way down to 1/3 of a second or even longer to burn in the ambient.

I use this a lot for clubbing/party type pics.

I wiki-pediaed Tv priority. It stands for “time value” priority and therefore the equivilant is “shutter.”
