I rarely if ever have used a flash in my entire life. My other camera is a Leica (no boast) so you can understand that I have always worshipped at the altar of available light
Thing is, I realise more and more that although my GH-2 can turn in fine shots at iso800, 1600 or at a pinch 3200 indoors the problem remains that shadows, especially around the eyes can remain. It occurs to me I should be relieving the shadows with some kind of controlled 'fill in' flash.
Given that I want 'fill in' is the inbuilt flash good enough and also what setting do I put it on? Reading the manual there is no 'fill in' type setting and I'm wondering if the 'force flash on, red eye reduction' is what I want.
Or should I consider an external gun and if so what? Is there a Panasonic one worth having?
Thanks if anyone can give me advice. I prefer shooting landscapes but every now and then I want to do some event-type stuff.
