If you have an "on camera" flash added on to the top of your camera, take it off TTL and put it on "A" for automatic and see if that helps the "blow out". It has worked great for me.

Sandman and Andrew, some people dont have these nice expensive cameras like you do, on most Point and Shoot cameras you cant change the Flash Output. Damn you people are terribly nasty.

This may not work in crowded areas.

I made it 38 seconds in before succumbing to terminal lameness and closing it. As for the idea being wrong? I have no idea. I stopped watching.

Waste of bandwidth downloading. And the idea was completely wrong. Dial down the flash output, not the exposure. That was so totally lame. Waste of bandwidth downloading.
