flash in social settings

Excellent userreport!

Could you elaborate a bit on the low points you give to "flash in social photogs"?

I really like the rc mode with single or multiple flashes, so just wondering why.

Hi Perry,

I have used the flash a few times in "social settings" and it's like any other built-in flash; it illuminates the subject well enough in a very unflattering way. I prefer to look for interesting ambient light and boost the ISO in those situations.

If I had one or more FL600r flashes, it might be a completely different story. But I don't, thus the low mark.
