Do you have suggestions to help me with fill flash on my Canon T2i?

If you're standing too close yes it will be over exposed. All you have to do in these situations is back up a couple of feet and shoot again... simple. I shoot portraits in the shade all the time, and even in bright sun. Sun gives you very harsh shadows but the flash will soften them, but back up

a couple of feet. In the shade, same thing - just back out a little that's all.

No, an ISO adjustment isn't required.

It's no big deal, you don't have to buy a $300 dollar flash to compensate and give you fill, just learn how to use the one you have. It's really simple. Like this - shade with flash.

if your in the shade, your gonna want to use a flash, but make sure u smooth out the light, or use an external flash which works way better. if you had a tripod, you could go for longer exposures like 1/10 and have a lower aperture like f 3.5 or something, which should give u a brighter image. u could crank up the iso, but dont try going over 1000 because then youll start seeing noise in darker areas.

Your iso could have been changed i always shoot in manual mode. So i can control the shutter speed and the aperture. A flash wouldve done the trick but why waste the money when you have the solution right in your hands. I would suggest reading up more on your camera so next time theres no problems.

Unfortunately, that is the way "on camera" flashes work. They provide a harsh, non-adjustable light. The best thing you can do is get an adjustable hotshoe flash like a Canon speedlite 430EX II or 580EX II, even then, I would recommend using a flash diffuser like a Gary Fong LightSphere for it.

The other thing you can do is make or use a reflector to provide light on to the subject.

Go back to AUTO and find something in the scene that causes the flash indicator to come on in the view finder, then lock it by pressing button 1/2 way while you compose your picture.

Are you using the pop-up flash built in to the camera?

Leave it on Auto mode and raise the flash. That's all you need to do.

IN your menus is an option to adjust flash exposure - can adjust +/-2stops.

Experiment with different settings until you get the effect you want.
