I'm just not sure how to get started with it. I shoot in AV but have found that using the flash in AV I have a very slow shutter speed. I'm a beginner by most means. I started this venture in June and it is dark most of the time in Maine...hence the flash.

I appreciate any help!
Go into your custom functions in the camera and set it where it will be 1/250 in av mode.. This will allow you to have the proper shutter speed for flash.
