Somewhere in the menus you'll find a function that controls the intensity of the onboard flash...possibly cobble together a diffusing filter for the flash too - I've used a cigarette paper before. You also possibly need to play with your white balance in accordance to the type of artificial lighting you're using.



ETA. I'm a Nikon chap all the way. The consumer level Nikon glass is best IMO. In the pro glass market the brands are much of a muchness.
