Kodak Z7590 Flash Exposure

I recently purchased a Kodak Z7590 and am reasonably pleased with the
performance except for the default flash exposure (Auto setting). In
my judgement, it is always 1 to 2 stops under exposed.
I remedy this by going to program setting and pushing the exposure up
to 1.3 to 1.7 or so depending on the ambient light.
Could this be a glitch in the firmware (since this is a brand new
model)?
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks,
Bruce

It could also be that you are using the zoom to frame your shots. Use
of the zoom results in getting darker pictures than expected when using
flash. Check the distances you can expect from various zoom values in
the manual. You will probably be surprised.
