I've had a Canon T6i for close to a year now. I like photography but no where near an expert. I'm having issues mostly with flash pictures. I sometimes use the built-in flash and other times use my older 420EX Speedlite. This past weekend we were indoors at an event so I used the external flash. I used the automatic mode and shot away. After reviewing the pictures I was very disappointed. The images are not crisp or filled with light like I would expect. I could have done better with my phone!
I looked into this a bit and found even with the external flash the ISO #'s are very high, like 1300+. Last night I messed around and tried the "P" creative mode (program mode). I left ISO at 200 and pictures were WAY better. I would have thought auto mode would have adjusted ISO better so as to not generate such grainy images. Even after reviewing the manual quickly I don't see any suggestions on which modes are suggested for flash photography.
Although I would like to blame the camera I think this must be user error. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
