highlight of the participants around the table in the photo, but actually to light up the environment which is the background in my case, I'll need to step down my shutter speed. Here's where the rules of
APERTURE CONTROLS FLASH EXPOSURE and
SHUTTER SPEED CONTROLS AMBIENT EXPOSURE step-in

Yes, that is one of those moments where you need slower shutter speed. I also do that, if I want to include more ambient light, I'd switched to Manual and adjust the SS accordingly.
SD9 can refresh faster ma
I've read those posts before. Ideally you must get the exposure right each time. Under = noise (controllable, as long as not that much). Over = lose details (read blown highlights). Personally, I'd rather choose the former
