@jerseyman9080 try changing white balance settings to control color temperature (warm / cool) brightness can be controlled with power settings on the flash unit

Nice video. I have a nikon. When I use my popup flash in sunlight with AWB set to auto. My photo become very warm (yellow). Setting it to Flash WB makes it worst, what help is setting it to direction sun WB. Any comments?

@pannysat you can also try to set it to Custom WB.

We have a video on that....

@zasvedogovore thanks for letting us know. Actually the latest tutorial we did this week is in HD and still loads pretty fast....so all the new ones will have even better quality.

This was GREAT. I noticed you said you had it set to Aperture priority, which really helps me a lot. I had tried using the forced flash before and it totally screwed up my shot....HOWEVER....I was shooting using PROGRAM AE so I'm thinking that is the reason why the shot compensated for the flash and darkened the photo automatically. Thank you for providing the url to this video of yours!
