Hi,

How do you balance flash with ambient light?

Thanks.

That's a hard question to answer because there are some many different lighting conditions that exist. One rule some people use is drop f-stop on lens about 2/3 and the EV on your flash about 1/3. That other I recommend is shoot many photos and change you lens f-stop and flash EV to see which one gives you the best photo.
