Re: Rebel T6 exposure time in aperture priority mode with flash

Thanks for your answers. The manual must have changed quite a bit, because mine has much fewer pages than the page number quoted above, and has no information at all pertaining to this question (I did read the manual before posting :-)).

I understand what's going on - it's just very different from my Olympus experience, where shutter time was automatically adjusted down when I used flash. Since my attempts at insect photography are often quite time-bound (only until it flies away), and unpredictable (I often come across a subject while doing flower photography) it was convenient to just be able to hit the flash button and start shooting - I learned that using flash really helped getting a nice crisp close-up, even in good ambient light conditions. For flowers and most other subjects, I think I'll continue to use Av (and no flash), so this means I'll have to fiddle with controls more before I can start taking pictures. I guess I'll just have to get good at that...
