ortega How do I increase the shutter speed while in Av mode? By opening up my aperture and ISO speed I still couldn't get the right shutter speed so to speak. But then again, it seems like my f5 was not enough. Should have brought it to a larger aperture. Thanks.
since the problem is the AV mode, then change it
for an indoor shoot like this, i'd normally use manual mode
1. choose the DOF that you need
2. choose the slowest shutter speed that you can handhold without camera shake
3. choose the highest ISO that you are comfortable with.
4. let the flash provide the right exposure
