Problem with that is when I point the strobe slightly away from the
subject, I get part of the picture washed out, and part too dark.
I was hoping form some way of either reducing the exposure (I havn't
managed to find this in the camera docs yet), or some software that
would correct it when I've loaded into the PC.
