HIGHLIGHTS
▶ “The pop-up flash is going to make the light look bad.  If you want your pictures to look good, raise your ISO. Never, ever, ever turn your flash on.”
▶ “You're going to see some noise, especially when you zoom in. But the other thing you might not be doing is removing that noise. I went through so many years of not removing noise because all noise reduction used to do until recently was blur your image to hide the noise. These new AI noise reduction stuff, including the one that's built into Lightroom, is slow but it's effective; as long as you shoot in RAW, it will do an amazing job of removing the noise.”
