Tips to adjust the brightness when shooting people
• It is important to balance the brightness of people against
the dark background in night portraits. You can adjust the
brightness of people near the camera by changing the flash
light intensity.
• If the subject is too far for the flash and still too dark after
adjustment, move closer to your subject.
