Hi Judson -
Good to see you back on the forum.
I pulled this excerpt from one of Michael George's shares:
"The basic concept of Rembrandt lighting is one high raking light source at about a 45 degree angle from the object or person you are lighting. You need some sort of reflection device on the other side to bounce a bit of light back into the shadow areas - I use a piece of white mat board."
If you do other searches, you will find more info on this forum.
I have an older Canon, and had the same problem with the flash. I had accidentally turned it on without realizing and was going nuts for a while until I looked up what to do in the manual. You will probably find a quick how-to by looking it up via the manual's index.
