That's my experience, as well. I'm pretty sure that Nikon's flash system disregards the distance information as soon as the flash head is tilted even slightly. So it's straight on or nothing. It *is* pretty cool, though, to be able to perfectly expose white objects and black objects and all objects in between. But that's it...it's cool. Not really something that contributes to making great images in most situations. Of course, I'm also of the opinion that on camera flash is highly overrated. I didn't even bother buying a dedicated flash for my Canon. I have an old Vivitar 283 that I can manually adjust from 0-100% power if I need a flash.
