It is hard I'll give you that! It took me a long time to figure out my camera in order to take the truest pictures I could. On my camera there is a function key and if I press that while in the "taking pictures" mode I change the flash to -1 1/3. It's in with the setting for how "fine" the pictures are. I don't know if that helps
I'm sorry! I forgot to say I like the pictures! I love the picture of your normal girl!
