Yep, I have the same exact issue. The flash is not powerful/wide enough to illuminate a larger area and then the camera produces a darker image. I think playing with the white balance, and flash exposure, settings have improved things, but it's a trial-and-error process. My wife doesn't want to stand around and wait until the pic is just right. It's easier for her to bitch about "paying $500 for a camera that can't take a damn simple picture". ;D

I think the highest ISO is 400 and it's the lens the pushes out when I turn on the camera. The problem is this - let's say I'm in an airplane hangar and want to snap the aircraft. Through the LCD things look great, but when I take the picture it comes out all dark and weird with the flash illuminating 5% of the plane. So I turn off the flash. now the pic comes out like it looks in the LCD except all blurry because of slight movement when I pushed the button. The only way to get low light shots (or night shot) that I've found is to put the camera on a rock or something and set the timer. Of course now the framing of the picture is off and I'm not going to carry the tripod around. Getting a nice city night shot w/o a tripod is a bitch. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:206042 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
