Hi John, I have turned off the flash - but not tried the two light sources. I've read about that but can't see how it works. I guess it's time to try it out. They must even out the light in some way. Yes it's good to be able to experiment. Now to understand the EXIF stuff more so that I can more easily review what I've tried with camera settings.
