I would do the same as Kev also the same (no expert) only I tend to put the camera in manual still start off with f5.6 and 1/80 as Kev says Manual just ensures shutter don't drop. I don't notice usually until at some point you press the shutter and it stays open for yonks :-(Hi
I am no expert but this is what I have used:
Set the ISO between 400-800, flash in TTL, camera in Aperture mode at say 5.6, ensure the shutter speed is at least 1/80 and bounce the flash off the ceiling if it is white or a white wall.
Also ensure you shoot in RAW if you don't.
I am sure the experts will give a bit more info.
Thanks
I was always under the impression that the flash TTL function would be lost if the head was angled up and light bounced from the cieling. I've always used the flash in manual and adjusted the power output to suit - I'll give it a go in TTL
That's precisely what TTL is good for. Bounce the flash off a ceiling or a wall at a subject 5 or 15 feet away, the flash just works.I was always under the impression that the flash TTL function would be lost if the head was angled up and light bounced from the cieling.

Used straight on at a fixed distance manual is simple and no need for TTL.
Definitely bounce the flash in TTL. Your flash is unlikely to offer the same coverage as your lens at it's widest if you don't.
