Strategy using Flash
If you are using flash on-camera and in TTL and your subject is far from the camera, like a group at a wedding, you should use a wider f-stop like f8, f5.6, f4 or even wider. This is to make sure the flash has the ability to output enough light to distant subjects and allows for faster recycle time. On the other hand, if your subject is closer to the camera, like the bride and groom close-up, you can use smaller f/stops like f8, f11, f16. I usually do not use a smaller f-stop than f11 and the reason is that at f11, I usually have all the depth of field I need and the flash is discharging a lot of light for a proper exposure. This makes the recycle time longer and eats up batteries faster.
