Indoors, I was getting some shots I really like (I *think* - I haven't uploaded them to the computer to really look at them yet) by using the bounce flash, setting the shutter speed to 200 and the ISO to 640.

I want to keep playing around with the settings more though, because I don't want to have to rely on the flash all the time. And, having the bounce flash attached seems to limit how fast I can set my shutter speed. I think I have it set plenty fast, but there may be a time when I want to adjust it.

Whew! So much to learn.

I really don't like flash either, so I always try first:
1) look for nice indoor, indirect sunlight (bright)
2) increase my ISO (as far up as I can go/deal with graininess)
3) adjust my exp comp to +2 or so
4) use wide aperture (if subject is still enough)

If that all fails (or, if subject is super-action-y), then I move to flash.
