I frequently find that when using my H1 indoors, portraits
and such, the flash is much too bright and washes out the
person's face. Is there a setting I'm not aware of that can
adjust this? Or any way to avoid it?

TIA

Louise

Not in the automatic mode. You can change the flash level to
+, normal, and - on the P setting.

Look how you are holding the camera, are you covering the flash sensor?

Stick a white hankie over the flash. You may have to double it.
