Fine, stay with auto iso, just shoot in shutter priority at less than you max. speed for flash, for most newer camera's, it's probably 1/250 sec. to 1/400 sec.
Always check your manual for your maximum speed.
Actually, I like to drag my shutter when using flash, I like to have the background as bright as my subjects.
I usually shoot at 1/30 sec.
Good luck and keep on shooting until the end.
I didn’t pay attention to shutter speed thinking it doesn’t matter with flash. It certainly does matter for the background exposure. I think I used aperture setting to get the DOF I wanted. That part worked fine.
So it might be better when using flash to use M and set the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO trusting the flash for exposure of the subject. My concern is that the numbers I’d choose first will be too dark for background: 1/200 s, f7, ISO 400. I’ll try that.
