came out sounding like so much Greek to me.  Perhaps I need to invest in a Photography for Dummies book. Actually, to be more exact, I wish they had a Sony R1 for Dummies book...my manual is not made for dummies, but for the more experienced...it might as well be printed in Greek...
Unfortunately, taking pictures outside is not an option for me. Where we are situated there is only strong, full sunlight, no shading or anything. Outside pictures are all washed out and horrible. Now, I've not tried it with my Sony, but I imagine it would be the same. The backyard is a bit better, but it is the dogs domain...and by dogs I mean mastiffs and it they have seriously uglified the backyard...so, inside it has to be.
I do want to get a bounce flash, I think it would help alot. Unfortunately, I've only seen one bounce flash made for this camera, and I wasn't impressed, it only tilted up a bit instead of the normal bounce range.
As far as ISO and Aperature...if steady hands are required, I'll need to invest in a tripod too. But, a tripod would limit the shots I could take, though I'm sure the ones I did take would be better. Of course, I would need to figure out all the "greek" before the tripod would be of any use.
Sure wish you were closer, so you could give me some "hands on" help with my new beast.
