STRONG POINTS
▶ “The pop-up flash will make the light look bad. If you want your photos to look good, increase your ISO. Never, ever turn on your flash.
▶ “You're going to see some noise, especially when you zoom in. But the other thing you might not do is remove that noise. I spent so many years not removing noise, because until recently all noise reduction was about blurring your image to hide the noise. These new AI noise reduction tools, including the one built into Lightroom, are slow but effective; as long as you're shooting in RAW, it will do an amazing job removing noise.
