Thank you for that advice.
Andy-I have copied that link and will 'wade' through it.
Duncan-you advise
, there will be a setting on the camera called slow-synch flash, or similar. This is the one you should be using for these outdoor shots. Leave the flash in E-TTL (or whatever mode Canon call their pre-flash TTL mode).
I have gone 'into' the camera settings and it is already pre-set to "shutter sync-1st curtain". I can't find anything mentioning 'slow sync'
On the mode dial I have the choice of 'A-DEP' 'M' 'AV' 'TV' or 'P' (plus the normal scene modes and 'flash off'
I understand that 'P' will automatically fire the flash at full power and choose the correct speed but which setting will change it to 'fill in flash' ???
Any help for this confused 'technophobe' appreciated
